Re previous post. . Our youngest grandchildren only come up to London around 4 times a year and usually stay overnight. This holiday was different as their father in Liverpool had just changed jobs and had difficulties in getting time off for the 2 weeks he normally has the children for in the summer holidays so everything was up the wall. Daughter had booked a few days away (she had not had a holiday for 3 years) and we were the backup if all had failed with Dad. As it happened, he could not get much time off, but his new partner looked after the children most of the time. We had the children for a few nights to support our daughter. We normally travel to Sussex to meet up with everyone (either by train or car) Whilst we have our own health issues (physical) for our emotional health it is important that we play a significant part in our grandchildren's life, Our eldest grandson (30) is very close to his grandfather who supported him emotionally and practically since he was a teenager. Grandson is now has a 6 year old son, named after his grandfather, and credits his paternal/fathering skills etc to us grandparents. -

The young men selling knick-knacks on behalf of a 'rehabilitation centre' are out on Underhill. Young lad, tried to engage me, then begged saying he'd been on the street for 6 hours and might have to sleep rough. They are run by gang masters in the main and what they 'sell' is overpriced rubbish. Support young needy people through proper registered charities, not street collections such as this. The boys don't even get to keep, often, what they can scrounge. This one wasn't scary, just rather pathetic, but then I don't look that vulnerable. Watch out.
