Here at Grandfriends we bring together families and grandies in the hope of forging new familial connections. And boy is this a great family seeking the best grandie. Jo, Tim and their son Max (5) are active and creative, going orienteering every fortnight. They would love for someone to join them! However, if that's not your favourite they are also creative; Jo likes op shopping and is interested in music, and Max is into art and building with wood. Bonus, they have a cat called Fuji. 🐱🧶
As a comment from Jo herself: "I would personally love to connect with a family/Grandie who loves playing musical instruments. This would be a real treat, and a great way to connect! If not music, then someone who loves getting creative in some form, whether it be through art, clay, food creations, beads, or whatever else, it doesn't matter really 😉"
If something you would like to be part of please get in touch quoting reference number 4956 Joanna.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether they are 18 months or 18 years, we always have their best interests in mind – even if they don’t listen anymore!
However, the home environment can present many dangers to young children. Take curtains and blinds, for example. Although they look great in a room, there’s a risk that kids can hurt themselves if they play around with them.
As such, what are the measures that you can take to ensure that they are safe in your home? Let us explain.
Keep your windows child-safe: Keep babies’ cots well away from windows and ensure that all blind and curtain cords are out of reach. This may mean not placing furniture next to windows – toddlers love climbing!
Child safety devices: You could install a safety device that adds another level of protection. This allows cords to be tightly wound around a cleat and out of reach, alternatively you could opt for electronically operated blinds.
Reduce the hazard: It is important to be aware at all times of child safety around the home. An extra safety measure is the installation of a safety device that either removes the cord loop or limits access to cords. A tension device (either a chain tensioner or cleat) can be anchored to the wall or floor so that young children cannot play with cords or put them around their neck.
Selecting the right curtain fabric type: There is no doubt that kids love to pull and tug on items around your home. While you can tell them off as many times as you like, it might be a good idea to invest in stronger fabric type for curtains in a kid’s bedroom.
For example, sheers and voiles – while they look great in a baby’s nursery, these fabrics are too lightweight and prone to damage especially when your youngest becomes mobile and wants to practice their climbing skills! In a kid’s bedroom, you’ll want a strong fabric that can take the odd pull and is also easy to clean should they get dirty.
If you need help, give us a call on 0800 579 0501 and we can offer helpful advice. We can also provide safety devices to keep your blind cords out of reach.
