Books for grandparents
Grand parenting can be confusing to grandparents as it is for grand children.
You may be lucky enough to have the time to be a full time grandparent, but you still have to have time to be yourself.
We ware all ageless in our real selves and it is entertaining to see how others have expressed this.
These books are aimed at an older readership but can be equally understood and enjoyed by younger readers and carers alike.
Over the last decade, Sue Townsend has written a monthly column which covers everything from hosepipe bans and Spanish restaurants to writer's block and the posh middle-aged woman she once met who'd never heard of Winnie-the-Pooh.
Collected together now for the first time, they form a set of pieces from one of Britain's most popular and acclaimed writers that is funny, perceptive and touching. This book is currently only available for the kindle in the UK.
