In Loving Memory!

***HAPPY 99TH BIRTHDAY*** Mum. It would have been my mum's birthday today but it wasn't to be. She is celebrating with her own mother and I am so happy that they have been reunited at last. Ü

I am so thankful for the opportunity that I had to be with her for so many years. A popular quote that I have seen recently...

'Do not regret growing older, it is a privilege denied to many.'

Enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend.

Stick It In The Family Album!

***Happy Birthday*** Yasmin - 22 today. Ü

Another month has flown by this year and I don't want to sound ungrateful for the few sunny days that we have had but come onnn....it IS supposed to be spring! In fact we are over halfway through spring and there is still a chill in the air. I am allergic to the cold. I HATE cold! Bring me sunshine - any day.

So my eldest granddaughter came for a visit and she stayed for one week. Now if my almost 22 year old grandchild takes a week out of her holiday leave and wants to come spend time with her ol' nan and grandad, then I shall drop everything and do whatever she pleases - and that is exactly what we did. Ü

We spent Bank Holiday Monday on the beach - the 1 very warm day that we had so far this year. We had a scrapbooking day, a visit to the ice cream parlour. She went on a bike ride with grandad and she and I had a baking day and a photo shoot. We packed a lot in. Ü

Here are some photos... quite the model eh?

Swinging in my 'parrot' chair...

...and here is a little fun editing that I did ...

So as another Bank Holiday Monday approaches, let's hope that we get some warm sunshine like the last one...PLEEEASE. Ü

Toots for now,
