My wife flew out to see her mother in Spain, who is undergoing medical treatment. I dropped her off at the airport, and then took my eldest daughter and my eldest grandson into Cardiff. Ollie likes dinosaurs, and so the plan was to take him to the National Museum so he could see the fossil skeletons.

He rather enjoyed the trip. I'm a firm believer in introducing kids to museums and the like early - Ollie isn't 5 yet. You don't ram it down their throats - we didn't stay long - but you're at least showing them that these places are for everyone - not other people. The fact that entry is free helped too!
