The story explores the feelings of a child adjusting to the arrival of grandparents who must move in due to Grandpa's dementia. Initially resistant to the change, the child reflects on fond memories of visiting their grandparents in London, enjoying outings to attractions like the London Eye and the zoo. The transition to living together in a self-contained flat brings mixed emotions, as the child grapples with the loss of previous experiences and the complexities of family dynamics in a new living arrangement.
