We had our grand daughter to stay last night. She'll be 3 in June. So before lunch we went for a walk. Up past the church and through the footpaths past the fields to the next village.

She's gonna wear her teeth out before she's 4. Far too much jibber jabber. Two miles walk away from home and then all the way back on grand dads shoulders. All the time holding her collection of fascinating objects to take home. A snail shell, a catkin, some stones, some leaves, a small pine cone and a variety of small interesting sticks. All of which, along with some grass, were put in a plastic container full of water back home to make "soup" I need a lie down.

Thats the beauty of grand kids. Great when you have them but great to give them back

Bless. :-4

I know what you mean, had mine this afternoon, enjoyed every minute of it, but nice to say goodbye:wah:

What a lovely walk you had!:-4

Gotta love those nature walks as I use to call them they are fascinated by everything they see at that age. :-6

My grandson who's 4 adores snails and spends a lot of time hunting them, feeding them and storing them in a box in the garden!



He's another one who talks non-stop, very tiring!!!!!



Love being nanny, it's just the best:-4

Thats the beauty of grand kids. Great when you have them but great to give them back That's alovely story :-4 I said this on another thread yesterday but some of my happiest memories as a small child were out with dad sometimes on his shoulders with him teaching me to identify tree's, bushes, leaves, seeds and what birds lived where. He once said to me that the greatest gift you can give a child is your time and money matters not a jot to a child with questions. I'm thrilled when i hear or read of parents and grand-parents doing the same for their children as my dad did for me because you are giving them the greatest gift of all..... happy memories and knowledge and respect of our wildlife and enviroment. I remember similar, coming home from my outings with dad with jars of pebbles, an ant, a feather, leaves etc. At the seaside, it would be a crab, an interesting rock and some seaweed :wah:

Get him to have snail races. Collect snails and put a tiny dab of nail varnish on the base of the shell to identify them. Put some marigold leaves or similar at the end of a home made track and take bets off his friends which one wins. :wah:

Soup that is wonderful. Will grandpa be the first to sample said soup?

Awww I love those special times with grandkids.

I was running up and down a dirt hill with mine yesterday as my daughter and friends cooked me dinner.

Teaching her to make pine cone soup could save her life someday if shes ever lost in the woods.

Good thinking.

3 in June? June what day? No grandkids here yet but probs in the next 5 yrs or so I'm sure. Oh, yes children once they begin talking...just blab on & on. I remember Quin learning to say "dada"....and then began saying it all day long:wah: And Cecelia used to growl...in fact she hasn't stopped:wah:
