It’s a timely lesson which young folk can learn, especially at Christmas when there is so much waste. This Christmas, instead of a Christmas card - you'll have plenty of those - and instead of a present - you'll have plenty of those too, I am sending you a letter . So whether they're your nanny and grandad or grandma and grandpa then send a card this Christmas that they will love. Story of love between a grandpa and his granddaughter together with powerful messages about our world and how we should look after it.

I had such high hopes of a beautiful Christmas story about a young girl and her grandpa, hoping to bring back memories of my own.

If I could crack a realism feel to the lighting and mood then I felt it would work well with Michael’s beautiful words. In 1976 Michael and his wife Clare started the charity Farms For City Children, which aims to relieve the poverty of experience of young children from inner city and urban areas. The topic of climate change in this story has been approached in a lovely way which allows children to relate more to the topic.Presenting the message through a grandpa’s letter to his granddaughter explaining what he wants best for her actually brings a tear to the eye. The letter talks about how the Grandad loves his Granddaughter and how we are destroying the planet and how he hopes that will change. The siblings have performed the sonatas in many concert halls, and had prepared this specific programme for a tour when the pandemic hit.
