🗣 'Get those kids away from the computers and social media rubbish and into the Yorkshire air and let the kids get dirty and scraped knees.'
When my two grandsons were younger, my friends and I used to pack picnics for our relative grandchildren – the usual sandwiches, fruit, drinks etc – put them in a rucksack with something to sit on, even if it was a carrier bag – and set off on walks of around six miles. On most of the holidays there would be three grandmas, four children and a dog.All the children grumbled, of course, wondering when and where we would stop to eat.
We also enjoyed doing a circular walk setting off from the river in Ilkley and encountering all sorts of animals and obstacles along the way until we were back along the river with its playground where the children could play. The only expense on both of those trips was an ice cream at the local kiosk at the end.
Get those kids away from the computers and social media rubbish and into the Yorkshire air and let the kids get dirty and scraped knees.
