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”

Nana Ann is coming up

I am you other grandfather, the one you have never met. You are four 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.

A bit of good news today. Nana Ann says she's coming up for the weekend. She knows Grandad is very, very busy and will be working all weekend, but I know she'll find lots of things ot do around the house - all the things that Grandad is supposed to do but doesn't (because I'm too busy of course!). But it will be nice to have her around, and some compensation that I won't be able to be with her on her birthday next month (I always try, but this year it's impossible if I am to meet all my commitments).

Today I went to se two men about two different books I am writing. Both men are very nice characters and it's a pleasure to talk to them. In my job, this is not always the case. Today a man who writes childrens books gave me a ring. He has written a really good children's book about a young dragon, and he wants me to help him get it published. I had to tell him I can't do anything until next year at the earliest! But that's always the way. This time last year, when I had hardly any work on, I would have been glad to do it, but that's the way of the world. It's either a feast or a famine.

I went shopping today, but I'll go again on Friday and get some nice things, the kind Nana Ann likes, for when she comes up from London.

Love from

Grandad Kit and Nana Ann
