Thank you for reading my blog. If you have difficulty seeing your grandchildren, or have any views about my situation, I would welcome your messages by e-mail through this blog site. If you wish, just use a first name or a nickname and your identity will be protected, like mine – “Grandad Kit.”

Dear “Tom”

Off to Germany

I am your other grandfather, the one you have never met. You are three years old, and although I have never met you, I love you dearly and always will. You are my flesh and blood, and always will be. We will meet one day, I am sure. I am writing this daily "blog" to you to make up for the fact that I can't speak to you right now. I hope that one day you will be able to read this and then you will know that Grandad Kit and Nana Ann always did care for you, right from the day you were born.

Grandad has been busy today, getting ready for going to Germany tomorrow. This will be my last trip abroad for some time, so I'm going to enjoy it all the more. Next week it's Blackpool here in England, but that's another story!

As you may remeber, Nana Ann used to live and work in Germany (just like your cousin Michael who is living and workign in Switzerland) and she speaks German very well indeed. When I'm in Germany I'm going to have to amke a speech, so I have written it in English and Nana Ann is going to translate it into German for me. Also, I ahve had some e-mails from Germany in German, so I have had to send them to Nana Ann in London for her to translate those from German into English so I will know what they say.

The great thing is, Nana Ann is coming to Germany with me this one time. Not like her surpise visit to see me in Italy when I didn't know she was coming! She's going by train again, as she always does,as she doesn't like flying which I don't mind atall.

You know. I would love to take you with me to any country you car to name. Your cousin Elaine went to Singapore, Australia and New Zealand with your other Nana, and she really really enjoyed it. Maybe one day.

Love from

Grandad Kit and Nana Ann
