Why can’t WE do this?! UK company unveils "Grans Go Free" flights

<p>EasyJet Holidays has unveiled their "first of its kind" offer allowing older relatives to travel for free on family bookings to popular European destinations, including Spain, Greece and Italy. </p> <p>The offer was announced during the final week of the easyJet Holidays Big Orange Sale last week, where customers could get up to £400 off. </p> <p>The move was made after a survey they conducted found that half of families have never holidayed abroad with grandparents.</p> <p>From the survey of 2,000 British adults, half of them said they regret not spending more time with grandparents and hoped to travel with them in their upcoming holidays. </p> <p>"We're proud to offer thousands of free kids' places, but we feel it's time to recognise the grandparents," easyJet Holidays Chief Operating Officer, Matt Callaghan said. </p> <p>"This research shows how important grandparent and grandchild relationships are and how much can be learned from making time for them."</p> <p>The tour operator hopes to encourage people in the UK to take a "3G" holiday - the term used for getaways with three or more generations. </p> <p>They found that seventy-seven per cent of the people surveyed agreed that the bond between grandparents and grandchildren is one of the most special relationships within a family. </p> <p>73 percent of these people also said that they would use the holiday opportunity to learn more about their grandparents' lives, and almost half of them want to benefit from their grandparents' wisdom. </p> <p>The most popular destinations for multi-generational holidays abroad are Spain (18 per cent), Italy and France, which both sit at 13 per cent. </p> <p>Limited spaces for the offer were made available and to qualify, the grandparent had to travel as part of a family booking with at least one child, and provide proof of age and relation had to be provided upon arrival at the hotel. </p> <p>The offer ended on the 5th of February, but it does make us wonder, when will Australia follow in their footsteps?</p> <p><em>Image: EasyJet/ Getty</em></p>

"No heart": Gran slammed for cruel Christmas act

<p><em>Image: Facebook </em></p> <p>It didn't take long for a group of Facebook commenters to proclaim an unnamed grandmother guilty of having absolutely “no heart” after she left her son’s stepchild off her Christmas list.</p> <p>The anonymous grandmother was outed by a friend of hers who saw a "heartbreaking" photo shared by the gran on social media.</p> <p>In the photo, four children can be clearly seen wearing adorable matching Christmas pyjamas – but of particular interest is the fact that a FIFTH child is visible siting on the end wearing something completely different, making them the obvious odd one out.</p> <p>The friend who shared the photo captioned it with the words: "Some people out there with no heart!"</p> <p>"A friend of mine is married. Mother-in-law bought matching PJ's for all kids EXCEPT the one that doesn't belong to her son. Is she wrong?" she asked on a local Facebook group page.</p> <p>Members of the Facebook group where the photo was shared were horrified by the image and did not attempt to hide their anger.</p> <p>One person commented that the grandmother was: "100 per cent wrong".</p> <p>"The woman should feel ashamed of herself for leaving an innocent child out."</p> <p>"This is horrible to the core," wrote another.</p> <p>A third added: "Wow what a horrible thing to do."</p> <p>Some commenters defended the grandma, calling it "her choice", while one pointed the finger at the mother for not preventing the cruel act in the first place.</p> <p>"The mum should have refused them," one person wrote. "To let this happen and then take a photo as well."</p> <p>Blended families are always complicated and no one knows the real story behind the image, but being excluded is never a good feeling, especially for a child at Christmas.</p>

Warning: Wearing this popular shoe could get you in trouble in these two countries

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When heading to certain Mediterranean destinations, Aussies need to be careful about what footwear they pack.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some spots have local rules that tourists don’t tend to know about, and wearing the wrong footwear is one of these niche rules.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In Spain’s Gran Canaria and Italy’s Capri, there are very strict regulations when it comes to wearing thongs.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to travel technology company Kiwi.com, the reason that thongs are banned in Capri is because they’re too noisy.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It is illegal to wear noisy footwear, including flip-flops in the popular holiday destination Capri, Italy,” said Alison Couper from Kiwi.com to </span><a href="https://www.express.co.uk/travel/articles/1108935/holidays-gran-canaria-flip-flops-italy-capri-illegal"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Express UK</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The locals value their peace and quiet and the law has seen tourists prosecuted for disrespecting this rule.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, over in Gran Canaria, the rules are a bit different. Thongs aren’t illegal over there, but they’re also forbidden to wear whilst you’re driving.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"It's important for any holidaymaker who is planning to drive overseas to familiarise themselves with the rules of the road of the country they are visiting,” Alison explained.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“A lot of the rules are logical and pretty similar to what we're used to, but some are more surprising: for example, it is illegal to drive wearing flip flops on Gran Canaria, and doing so can result in a big fine.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Have you been caught out by these rules?

Meet the 67-year-old gran addicted to bodybuilding

<p>Southland grandmother Margaret Ereckson is not what most people picture when they think of a bodybuilder.</p> <p>The 67-year-old is one of the oldest women getting ready to compete in the National Amateur Body Builders Association (NABBA) NZ bodybuilding competition at James Hargest College on April 22.</p> <p>"I am the nanna of the group," says Ereckson.</p> <p>Her journey into the sport was a long one, she said. It all started when she was in her 50s.</p> <p>Weighing her heaviest at nearly 99kg, she decided enough was enough and it was time to get fit again.</p> <p>She entered herself into the Surf to City and walked 12km for the first time in a long time. Finding her groove, she started to run on a regular basis and the next year she entered the Surf to City she ran the whole way. </p> <p>Each year she built up her goal, eventually running a marathon in Dunedin. "I lost about 40 kilos."</p> <p>She was ecstatic with her progress, until she was diagnosed with a heart condition. "I had to put everything on pause," says Ereckson.</p> <p>Having to put running to one side, she was concerned all her the hard work to get fit would go down the drain. That's when she heard about a bodybuilding group in Invercargill. </p> <p>"I watched the people in the gym and thought they had so much commitment. I thought, why not?"</p> <p>She kept it quiet though. "The only people who knew were my trainer and my husband".</p> <p>The biggest challenge for her was the idea of wearing a bikini. "I had never worn a bikini in my life," says Ereckson.</p> <p>It wasn't until her trainer posted a photo of her competing on Facebook that her family found out.</p> <p>"I got this call, 'mum what are you doing?' It was pretty funny."</p> <p>Now she is hooked on bodybuilding. "It's not about losing weight anymore, it's about keeping fit and feeling confident," says Ereckson.</p> <p>Invercargill will host its first National Amateur Body Builders Association (NABBA) NZ bodybuilding competition on April 22 at James Hargest College.</p> <p>The competition is one of 12 shows to be hosted in New Zealand this year, with the Invercargill being the only competition in which entrants can qualify for international events.</p> <p><em>Written by Joanna Griffiths.

83-year-old gran’s beautiful reaction to transgender grandson

<p>For many young members of the LGBTI community, coming out is not only daunting, but can unleash a torrent of verbal abuse, bullying, and even physical violence from the people who supposedly love them the most.</p> <p>However, one transgender 20-year-old, Gavin Cueto, found the most accepting member of his family was actually his grandmother – 83-year-old Elaine. In fact, when he decided to come out, he decided she would be the first person he would tell. “I was scared that I would get disowned, so I knew if I told my nan first I’d have a place to stay if anything went wrong,” Gavin told <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/skarlan/gotta-love-nan?utm_term=.ck2vKM9og#.vbOyWVe69" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">BuzzFeed</span></strong></a>.</p> <p>“Gavin came in wanting to talk to me,” Elaine recalls. “He said, ‘Nan, I’ve got something to tell you. I want to be a boy.’” Her response was utterly perfect – “Wouldn’t we all? We’d all like to be a man, because they’ve got a better life than us.”</p> <p>Since then, Elaine has been by Gavin’s side for all the important milestones throughout his transition, from choosing his new name to supporting him during his first testosterone injections.</p> <p>Watch their incredible bond in action above. We think everyone could learn a thing or two from this supportive nan!</p> <p><em>Video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoMYDH7BcmQ" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Gavin Cuerto</strong></span></a>/YouTube</em></p> <p><strong>Related links:</strong></p> <p><a href="/news/news/2017/02/girls-wear-same-dress-in-photos-for-52-years/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Girls in family wear same dress in school pictures for 52 years</strong></em></span></a></p> <p><a href="/news/news/2017/02/grandma-texts-daily-encouragement/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Grandma’s daily encouraging texts to grandkids</strong></em></span></a></p> <p><a href="/lifestyle/retirement-life/2017/01/grandma-knits-rainbow-jumper-for-bisexual-granddaughter-to-show-support/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Grandma knits rainbow jumper for bisexual granddaughter to show support</strong></em></span></a></p>

83-year-old gran creates stunning paintings from hospital bed

<p>For most people confined to bed rest, watching TV, reading books and surfing the web are the go-to activities. But, for one creative 83-year-old, being bedridden isn’t stopping her from letting her artistic skills flourish.</p> <p>Joan Holland, a resident at an aged care facility in Cranford, New Jersey, took to painting after she stumbled on a painting kit for adults called Paint for Numbers. Since then, she hasn’t stopped.</p> <p>“You get tired of laying around in bed,” Joan, who has been confined to bed rest for a year, told <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Health/grandma-bed-rest-delights-social-media-stunning-paintings/story?id=45515703" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">ABC News</span></strong></a>. “I tried knitting and was good for a while, and I tried reading. But the Paint by Numbers, the painting is perfect. It was easy to set up, easy to clean up, and didn't make a big mess. And I had good results from it.”</p> <p>Not only is she no longer bored, but Joan’s granddaughter Jill says she’s never seen her grandma happier than when she’s painting. “Being stuck there, she does get cranky sometimes," she said. “This is her outlet and her getaway. It brings her joy. Being there and seeing her do this, it's an inspiration to me and my family. She doesn't look that happy all the time, but this brings it out in her.”</p> <p>The paintings take around 10 days to finish, and when she’s done, Joan likes to give them to staff members at the aged care home or to family members. “They've served my purpose, and now someone else can enjoy them.”</p> <p>See her beautiful creations in the gallery above and tell us in the comments, have you discovered a love for art later in life?</p> <p><em>Images: Jill Sobocinski.</em></p> <p><strong>Related links:</strong></p> <p><a href="/lifestyle/retirement-life/2017/02/bride-asks-92-year-old-grandmother-to-be-her-bridesmaid/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Bride asks 92-year-old grandmother to be her bridesmaid</strong></em></span></a></p> <p><a href="/lifestyle/retirement-life/2017/02/seniors-perform-carpool-karaoke/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Young-at-heart seniors perform hilarious carpool karaoke</strong></em></span></a></p> <p><a href="/lifestyle/retirement-life/2017/02/elderly-couple-celebrates-76-years-together/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Adorable couple in their 90s celebrate 76 years together</strong></em></span></a></p>

Gran delivers great-grandchild in her own home

<p>Great-great-grandmother Dot Looker is the hero of her family after she delivered her granddaughter’s baby in the middle of the night, in her own home.</p> <p>Granddaughter Rikki Bennet had decided to stay at her 85-year-old gran’s house in Wodonga, Australia, as she had sensed the baby was arriving. She had been told the birth was still two days away, but at 11:30pm it became clear the baby was ready to enter the world – and it wasn’t going to wait for a hospital.</p> <p>“Super gran” remained calm in a crisis and delivered little Logan Peter, who was born just an hour later, weighing 3.2 kilograms.</p> <p>"I've had five babies of my own and none like that," Mrs Looker said. "I had seen births on the movies, but this was nothing like the movies.”</p> <p>"Jan [Rikki’s mother] tried to ring the ambulance, but she didn't have her glasses on and also couldn't work out how to use my phone.</p> <p>"At one stage she came in and asked me how to use the phone and I said 'Jan, I'm busy at the moment'."</p> <p>The new arrival marks Dot’s 15th great-grandchildren, adding to an already large family which already includes two great-great-grandchildren.</p> <p>"He was blue and I put him on my left hand and patted him on the back," Mrs Looker said.</p> <p>"After a little bit he cried and it was the best sound I've heard in my entire life.</p> <p>"I'm off a dairy farm and delivered calves, lambs, dogs and cats, but nothing like this.</p> <p>"I only hope I live to hear him talk.</p> <p>Mother and son went to the hospital after the birth, and were released a few days later in good health.</p> <p>“I remember looking at grandma and thinking why is she so calm,” Rikki said.</p> <p>“The next thing I remember was her rubbing him vigorously with a towel and then he screamed.”</p> <p><strong>Related links: </strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em><a href="http://www.oversixty.co.nz/lifestyle/family-pets/2015/12/life-lessons-from-grandparents/">Top 10 life lessons kids learn from grandparents</a></em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em><a href="http://www.oversixty.co.nz/lifestyle/family-pets/2016/01/5-types-of-grandparents/">There are 5 different types of grandparents – which one are you?</a></em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em><a href="http://www.oversixty.co.nz/lifestyle/family-pets/2016/01/parents-and-kids-who-look-identical/">10 pics of parents and kids who look identical</a></em></strong></span></p>

You won’t believe how flexible this 85-year-old gran is – all thanks to yoga

<p>At 85, Betty Marshall is as flexible as ever thanks to her 40 plus years of yoga practice.</p> <p>The gran, from West Yorks in the UK, tried yoga by chance decades ago and soon became a qualified yoga teacher.</p> <p>"I took up yoga in 1970. I had been ill and couldn't do any strong physical exercise. I had also met an Indian lady who had taught me breathing exercise and it happened from there,” Betty told the Express.</p> <p>“I qualified in 1974 and I've been teaching it ever since.”</p> <p>Betty, who has two children, six grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren, credits yoga for transforming her life, making her fitter, stronger and more flexible.</p> <p>She adds though: “Of course there are certain positions I can't do any more due to my age. I can't hold my head down, for instance.</p> <p>"You do a lot of things over the years, I am now 85 but I can still teach, you don't have to do the postures to teach, I can still do quite a few of the things but if you are a good teacher you can talk people through it.</p> <p>“We have a lot of fun, friendship and better health mentally, physically and emotionally.”</p> <p><strong>Related links: </strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em><a href="/news/news/2015/08/junk-food-walk-off-time-labels/">New labels on junk food tell how long they take to exercise off</a></em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em><a href="/news/news/2015/08/small-fridge-tips/">Clever space-saving tricks to keep a small fridge organised</a></em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em><a href="/news/news/2015/08/photo-baby-bunnies-growing/">Photos chart baby bunnies growing over 30 days</a></em></strong></span></p>
