Happy Grandparents Day

Other

I didn’t know this day had been nominated to Grandparents.

It seems there are so many days to celebrate these days but this one I approve of.

A load of rubbish if you ask me. I only heard of it last month due to "Moon Pig"? giving away free cards. Another American import.

Pjran Grandparents' Day was introduced to the UK in 1990 by Age Concern, it's been celebrated (apparently) on the first Sunday in October since 2008. Originated in West Virginia 1973. OH has 6 grandkids and no cards but that's not surprising as 4 (2 their Dads does it) don't know how to buy Birthday or Christmas cards!

lilyflower lots of people no longer send cards due to the cost plus postage. I sent one to my sister in law last month, card plus postage £4.50. Then the cards are binned a week later.

Pjran His grandkids live within a 10 minute walk or they could drive in 2 minutes, they can't leave their street without passing our house.
