We (9 adults, 1 child and 2 toddlers) are off to Cornwall next week on holiday.
As my grand daughter (the 1 child) will be missing 3 days off school (the other 2 days are inset days) daughter told her she had to do a project - and suggested tin mines.
Grand daughter wasn't interested.
Daughter mentioned that granny will be traipsing over graveyards (my dad's Cornish and my Great and G great grandparents are all buried in the same grave - yes that's the same grave!), within 9 miles of where we're staying - and they all lived in surrounding villages - I'd obviously like to visit them.
Grand daughter said she'd love to do a project on graves with Granny!! This means daughter will be duty bound to drive me to the various destinations!! YAY
What a little darling my grand daughter is!!!
However it will also include mines - half the ancestors were tin/copper miners!! LOL

How old are yours Kay?
My grand daughter's 7, grandson's 17months - and he's already showing respect for Granny. When he walks in the wrong direction, granny can pick him up and face him in the right direction without a murmur from him.
If daughter or SIL tries it - he exercises his lungs!!
