Fess up who still has a fiddle with the lego who plays with their kids train set?
I do. Lego is great fun. I fight with Grandson over who is going to be the Fat Controller when we play with Thomas....

Good for you Basil. I even brag when I play with my grandsons' games and toys.
I took them to the cricket pitch to bowl a few balls. There's a budding fast bowler in the family, and he's pretty mean with the bat too.
Their toys are a little more sophisticated than I had, and I love it.
I don't see them a much as I'd like to, but I can't follow this dream and be with them all the time as well. Choices. There'll come a day when I won't be able to do this anymore, and they'll be sick of the sight of me when I'm around all the time.
So I make the most of the time when I'm with them, and I play with their toys, and read books to them. It's all special. Cheers Chris
