Welcome, grandkids! How Grandpa and I have looked forward to your inquiring little minds! As ever, we have been waiting to show you some weird and wonderful devices and inventions, which we have collected over many years.

Are you hungry? Then let me heat you something up in the microwave. It will take a while, though – it is over 70 years old. Would you like to watch TV while you wait? I recommend an old rerun – it looks really good in black and white. Grandpa is in his workshop fixing the lawnmower. He could buy a new one, but as this one has been working for 150 years, why change it? But enough of my talk. Why don’t you run along and take a look at all these things?
