With your own children, you love them immediately - and with grandchildren, it's exactly the same.

From the time you are a tiny baby, a parent's love is usually unconditional. Whatever you do, your parents think you are the tops, but when their memory goes, you stop recouping the love you've put in.

Being a grandparent is whole new phase in your life.

I've been going to Bamburgh for holidays since I was a child.

I'm not interested in more money for the sake of it.
