MARIA KNIGHT and her grandson Jacob were running errands when The Express caught up with them.
Despite the dreary weather, the two had just been for a swim and were dropping some letters off to the Post Office.
Ms Knight has just moved to Armidale in the last 12 months.
“It’s really lovely here,” she said.
Ms Knight said she loves being close to her grandchildren.
“I have two other grandchildren. Alana who just turned eight and one-year old Oliver,” Ms Knight said.
The two were ending the day with a well-deserved milkshake from Caffiends.
