Scots grandkids surprise 'Nonna' with snow sofa so she can visit 'comfortably'

A pair of Scots grandkids made the most of the freezing weather to build their grandparents a snow sofa so they could visit comfortably outside during the pandemic.

Margherita and Jim Scullion have been missing their adoring grandkids and usually visit outside once a week as they just stay a few streets away.

But on Friday, Joseph, 7, and Jessica,3, - with the help of their mum Pamela - decided to surprise their Nonna.

Hard at work, the pair moulded a couch outside their Coatbridge home so she could sit down in their garden during the visit.

Jim said: "We tend to go to my son's house about once a week and drop sweets and colouring books for the kids and talk at the front door.

"My daughter-in-law is really quite creative.

"They made my wife a wee sofa to sit on. We had seen photos of them building something the day before but we didn't know what.

"It was dead funny. It was brilliant.

"Everybody seems to like it.

"My wife came home with a wet bum but she just thought it was brilliant they had done it.

"We're lucky they just live two/three streets away and we still get to see them but it is still hard to see them for 10 minutes outside and then walk away for a week.

"You miss what you used to just take for granted."

The couch has since melted but Joesph and Jessica made their grandparents day by building it.

After posting the photos on Facebook Jim said they reaction had been great as everyone loved the creativity.
