Narrowboats; tents; wildlife and wildflowers; days without agendas; windswept sandy beaches crammed with rock pools not people; ice-creams; wellies full of water;
beachcombing treasures; leisurely chatty meals with all generations together; no-tech-games from garden quoits to i-spy and inventing imaginary concept vehicles – the more outlandish the better; more ice-creams
long walks; wet walks; leisurely walks; learning from each other; revelling in each others’ company and viewpoints; making new friends and catching up with old; chatting about everything from Pokemon to sheep dog trials; travelling on different kinds of boats;
finding new places and sharing old familiar ones; learning about the past and making lasting memories for the future.
I absolutely treasure those special times when we get to whisk our grandson away and explore the greatness of our island together. We all gain so very much – and we’ve returned with loads of wet and ripped clothes somehow! 💙
