Grannies on long haul flights




I expect there are many grannies like me on long haul flights this Christmas; worrying about the effect of emissions on the world, yet longing to be with our grandchildren.

and this slightly scary one, signed by Michael Rosen and with a CD of the song inside, for the toddler.
