Grandpa finally gets to see the World Cup in person. Thankfully I am not included. I find it all too stressful. Anyway Grandpa and son-in-law D flew off to Johannesburg on Tuesday and I started my 10 days of being with each daughter in turn. My choice and I have no regrets.
At the weekend it was decided that both daughters and grandkids should come up to Suffolk. Summer seems to have arrived and where better to spend time together but in the back garden of my house. We had the paddling pool out, the sun chairs in position and the umbrella up for shade. The grandkids had a great time. Granddaughter E and grandson P really do get on and they played imaginary games all day. Grandson A and granddaughter L just followed and copied what ever the older ones were saying. Bedtime was a bit chaotic as it was decided that 3 of the grandkids would sleep together whilst Grandson A would sleep in my room. Well Granddaughter L really loved having an audience. She kept on chatting, laughing and throwing her toys at the older ones so much that eventually they all had to be separated. Granddaughter L really sobbed but eventually we had peace, and the 3 adults were able to open a bottle of wine and relax. Yes it was very special weekend for us all.
