BR03: A Day in London

'She hit the ball, but she hit it too hard and it smashed a window. "Oh dear," said Gran.' (p5)

Gran is a grandmother of 3 children. She come to their house to meet them by her car. She is loved them. Gran bring some presents to them. She gives Mum and Dad an ornament. She gives Kipper some little golf clubs, and she gives Biff and Chip a keyboard. She gives 3 grandchildren some boomerangs. Gran plays the boomerang with them, and she breaks a window to hit a golf ball. The next day, she gives a concert with them. They have a good time. Then she goes for a drive to London. She parks at a car park then they get around by the tube. They go to Trafalgar Square. There is a lot of people and pigeons. Suddenly a pigeon falls a shit on Nadim's head. They go to Buckingham Palace and take on a boat when there is a strong wind. They go to the waxworks. There is a lot of wax models of famous people. Gran drops her handbag, and some money rolled among the models. She picks it up, then she bumps a wax model. The model collapses just like a domino. She puts these heads back on. However it is very strange. It is different these heads and bodies. At last a staff showed them the door. They come home safety.

I think that Gran's active is so strange. She is an old woman, but she is too active. She is just like a child. It is not bad to just read, but I don't want to relate. I want to read more Gran's eccentricities.
