Maybe I'm one of the oldest grans of little children: Two sisters, just 4 and 22 months, and their boy cousin who is nearly 3-and-a-half. I was 71 when the first baby was born and had given up on grandparenthood. I feel so lucky now but just wish I had the energy needed to run round after them. I do have them to stay, and we do take them out, but it's pretty tiring. Can't imagine life without them though. My girls were very late mums.
