Relocating to be near the grandchildren 21 Sept 2006
Is it a wise or foolish thing to do?

Being a grandparent can be one of the most rewarding relationships a person can have. But can the special grandparent-grandchild bond still grow over distance? With so many families living apart, those "special moments" from short visits are over all too quickly.

Jenni is joined by grandmothers Jane Fearnley Whittingstall and Jean Stogdon to ask whether living close by is the only way to maintain a nourishing relationship. 

The Good Granny Guide: Or How to be a Modern Grandmotherby Jane Fearnley-Whittingstall
