• Guest Post From Gramps – Jurassic Pool

  GRAMPS

  I am teaching my five year old granddaughter to swim; it is a rewarding experience, a joy. Then, more additional joy, a small supplementary benefit; as I have survived sixty years the session is free.

  BLOG

  Fancy dress is one of the many, many banes of my life.
