…says Sue, as she ushers Eddie (one) and Sybil (three) out of the shop with their lollies. “The others are coming to Ilmington tomorrow.” It’s great to meet friends with their grandchildren in tow, like a secret life that spills out on high days and holidays. Daughter-in-law Olivia is up from London too. The shop is great for granny treats like ice lollies, activity magazines and the llama cookie that Sybil is clutching in her spare hand. “We are going to the playground now to run off the sugar!” laughs Olivia. Ilmington also has a fabulous children’s playground, as Nanny Sue knows well. Grandma duty was never such fun…
