Granny and Grandpa are having fun with a lockdown idea. I liked the idea of what they were doing so much that I thought I\u2019d tell you about it. Obviously, like the rest of us they can\u2019t go out at the moment. They decided they\u2019d had enough of their own four walls so they are going on imaginary days out. At breakfast they had a long discussion about where they were going for the day and then spent the rest of the day imagining they were there and talking about the things they would be doing if they were really there. The place they went to yesterday has a tea room with a terrace so they sat outside and had coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pretended they went to the restaurant for lunch, even though Granny had to cook it. They had a walk around the garden in the afternoon, while pretending to be somewhere else entirely and had afternoon tea outside too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today they will decide where they are going for the day and say it depends on the weather. They\u2019ve decided to go to the Isle of Wight on holiday next month but aren\u2019t sure how long they will go for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Mum said, most people spend their childhood using their imaginations and then when they start to grow up forget how to do it entirely. She says it\u2019s only like reading a book and losing yourself in the story. I do rather suspect it may explain some of why Mum writes books, but leaving that aside, why don\u2019t you try it? You can either revisit somewhere you\u2019ve been before or even go somewhere new. You can find enough pictures on the internet and possibly even some webcams so you can look at what is (or isn\u2019t) going on today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
