		<description><![CDATA[Well, we’ve been having a glorious warm and sunny Indian Summer here in the UK, which s just as well because the one we were expecting during the long school holidays failed to make an appearance!

But now it’s all change again, flip flops are being relegated to the back of the wardrobe and woollies are being hauled out. Living with our unpredictable weather can be a challenge for the most positive amongst us. But have you ever stopped to wonder what sort of effect the weather has on our grandchildren?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think they are the ugliest blot on the landscape since  pit heaps scarred the countryside horizon when coal was King back in the 50’s and 60’s - sadly an era I can still just about recall. But these modern monsters are supposed to be environmentally friendly.

I’m talking about wind farms , those vast tubular turbines being erected everywhere and with indecent haste. Just blink and yes there’s another one. Sometimes there are just clumps of two or three of these horrible ugly monsters. Increasingly, though, there are battalions of them up to fifty of them in one area and most of them over 400 feet high.

Now I may be what’s called a Senior but I’m not a grumpy old git who doesn’t embrace the future. The internet is great. Solar panels are wonderful and I rather like Jedward. But to me wind farms are a worse curse on the countryside than Mad Cow disease. Frightening to look at, they dominate and ruin the look of our once lovely countryside.  And then there’s the frightening whining drone sounding like an alien with irritable bowels.

But what I want to know is why are they growing so fast and do they work?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here at virtualgranny we are always on the look- out for other websites that might be of interest to our fab and funky virtual grandparents,
We love to give our visitors a nudge in the direction of other websites like our own, that don’t patronise people over the age of 50 and don’t give the impression that we are all in our dotage and need direction on how to knit a new pattern or when to plant primroses or pansies.
So we are really thrilled to give you the low down on Savista - an online magazine that is launching on 1st September, aimed at everyone aged 50 and over.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Grandchildren are badly disciplined, lack manners and respect and their parents are too soft with them.

Ring any bells? According to the Mature Times, which commissioned the study, changing times mean that two thirds of grandparents questioned, believe that the grandchildren are being brought up badly.
But what do you think?]]></description>

The programme was a big hit in the 1970’s, following the stories of the family who were all rubbing along together in West Virginia during the depression.
Well it seems that the UK recession has had a Walton effect on our own families, with a 27% rise in the past decade, of multiple generation families living together.]]></description>
