Shouty Grandad and Nanny in The Gower

Shouty Grandad's sandal broke. He 'fixed' it.
Nanny and Shouty Grandad have just returned from a couple of weeks touring Tewksbury and Wales in their trusty campervan.
They've been having lots of adventures, done masses of walking and even stumbled across a beer festival!
When you see him, ask him how much he paid for the first 3 night's camping!

Anyway, he and Nanny went out on one of his route marches walks. After a couple of miles his elderly sandals, which he had already re-glued once before, came unstuck. With another 3-6 miles still to cover and the sole of his sandal flopping every time he took a step, Shouty Grandad came over all creative.

He found some string and one of those bits of plastic that holds beer cans together (you usually find them wrapped round ducks and hedgehogs). he fashioned a splint using the string and plastic and continued his walk. Did he go into town and buy new sandals? Or, did he use the sandals for the rest of his holiday, bring them home and put them in the shoe cupboard?

I'll give you a clue, Nanny said, "If I open that cupboard and they are still in there, I'll throw them in the bin!"
Cue Shouty Grandad's guilt grin.

You can take the boy out of Millom but you can't take him anywhere he'll feel embarrassed.
