Some of you might know, my husband's grandparents moved to Belfast a few years ago. Nobody can still understand why, but that means we also have to fly to see them. When I mentioned on twitter I was flying again...a few people called me " a jet setter". I can tell you I wasn't really looking forward to that trip, as I just wanted to stay at home, but as we will not see them at Christmas, we had to go. We love them and Isabelle is always very excited, but as they are very old, it's not easy at all.
We always stay at their place, and it used to be fine when Isabelle was a baby and used to sleep in a travel cot. We just left her sleeping in the living room, and me and daddy slept in the guest room. As Isabelle is obviously too big and old she has started sleeping in her Dora inflatable bed, on the floor next to our double bed (it's a very small room, by the way). In summer, it's fine, but in winter its very cold there. They don't have the heating on during the day in bedrooms, as many old people don't , so our room is very cold even when we leave the heating on, as by the time it worms up, we are off to London again! I told daddy to tell them to keep the heating on, but he just wouldn't do it. So I had to encourage myself and I asked them. It didn't hurt and granddad put it on straight away. Unfortunately this was after one night sleeping in a very cold bedroom. Poor Isabelle has a cold now, me too...
We have decided that from next time we will stay at the local B&B or in a hotel room, that's the plan, but I have no idea how to tell them, and if my husband is really going to tell them. We cannot really tell them why, can we?
