Easter Monday....

It was lovely to have a day off today for a change so off we went to the boot sale at nearby Tenbury...it was bitter cold there and there were not many people selling there.I did get a couple of bargains though--a beautiful  amber necklace for £4 and these brand new unopened LED remote controlled candles for just £1..They look lovely -very realistic-we will use them in summer on the patio

We had Becki, Wayne and little Tommy round for dinner later--last minute decision after we realised the leg of lamb we had bought would be way too big for just the two of us!

As little Tommy isn't able to have chocolate yet as he is only 10 months old I bought him a toy --he loved the paper more than the pressie I think!

He is still such a good little boy-always happy and smiling-I cant believe where the time has gone!

 

 

He did get round to playing with his toy in the end bless him...we still have the Easter eggs to deliver to the other grandchildren yet..but I expect they have had plenty to be getting on with for now...We are on the door of the Ludlow Art Society exhibition tomorrow 10am-1.30pm and back on the market every week from Wednesday..lets hope we start getting some better weather soon!

Becky called by with Tommy today...Grandad Bill still has the touch and Tommy went to sleep pretty quickly-followed by Grandad as well!

isn't he bloody beautiful---OK--I'm just a little biased I suppose!

could munch him to bits..and he is as good as gold too--he goes to bed every night by 8pm and sleeps right through til 8am each morning bless him,,,how  good is that? He is 16 weeks old nearly and is being christened this Sunday..We are really looking forward to it--cant wait to see him in his outfit--he will look scrummy!

Grandchildren At Christmas

Hollie and Lucie came down from Sunderland to stay for 3 nights on Wednesday,,,they were full of beans to say the least....they got stuck in to opening their pressies..

and Lucie fell in love with Biscuit the doggy,

and they both loved my magical snow globe (that is hidden behind the vase with lights in !)

loving Biscuit the doggy...

and Sally the dolly..

we went visiting on Thursday,,,,,to see Auntie Maureen , Uncle Roger and family..

and poor Lucie was quite tired out by it all bless her...

they we went to see my best friends----they had a whale of a time there....

then home to get changed and have their hair done ready for a party at my brothers house...

little Lucie has the prettiest blonde curls..

my niece Natalie made these beautiful cup cakes...

that the girls just loved...

and then she kept them occupied with the crayons and paper--thanks Nat!

they ended up dancing on the worktops.......

today we  had our youngest little grandson round to the house--Ollie...he joined us along with his mummy for dinner....it was lovely to see the little cousins getting along together..they grow up soooo fast....the girls are off back to Sunderland tomorrow with their Daddy...and then we are getting ready for our friends to come round for a slap up New Years Eve meal.... Garlic mushrooms, roast pork and all the trimmings and Christmas pudding and brandy sauce...I cant wait!

Ollie---Growing Up Fast

We called by to see our little Ollie when we got back from the hospital today---took him a few toys around to play with that I had picked up at various boots sales etc..Ive had some lovely bargains--and they are soon cleaned up with anti-bacterial cleaners to make sure they are safe for him! He loved this toy that makes various car noises..

and the Bob The Builder phone too...

he looks like butter wouldnt melt here bless him!

Think he is telling Grandad a secret here..

I could munch him to pieces!!!

isnt he cute?

Its a Girl!

We have just had a phone call to say our 5th grandchild has arrived safe and sound --little Isabel weighed in at 8lb 5oz ----she has arrived on Bills 63rd birthday as I predicted!
We will have to wait until Sunday to meet her as we are away on holiday until then-but Im sure we have some photos emailed us shortly!
Congratulations to everyone love from Nanny and grandad xxxxx

Ollie

I cant believe how our little Ollie is growing--he is a happy little chap-always smiling and chuckling. 

He is  real little darling x

Munchable!

I cant believe how little Ollie is growning up--it only seems 5 mins since he was born--and now hes sitting in his baby walker and making it move too!

hes a happy little soul bless him--and he has the diriest laugh you have ever heard!

couldnt you just munch him to bits?

Hollie and Lucie

After a busy day in class yesterday we had the grandchildren decend upon us--It was Callums 4the birthday on Friday so he came round for his pressies--and we didnt see Hollie and Lucie over Christmas as they had been in Florida over the holidays-so their Christmas pressies are still here.So they came down from Sunderland yesterday for a visit.

Hollie can throw a strop when she wants to--this is her grumpy face!

One grubby ittle Lucie before her bath!

Hollie posing for the camera!

Yummy !

Lovely to see them having fun togther!

the warm bath with lavender oils works wonders---out for the count by 8.30pm and slept all night!

Out for the count!

Hollie and Lucie -last weekend

We had a busy time last weekend-- we had a full class on saturday and then we had the little grandaughters Hollie and Lucie to stay from Sunderland. We had great fun with them--its like Christmas every time they come down-looking through the toys to see what new ones Nanny Di and bought since the last visit!
Hollie is mad about Dora the Explorer-and little Lucie likes her as well.
Its pretty manic here while they are awake--but after a nice warm bath with a few drops of pure lavender oil in it the pair of them were out for the count by 9.15pm-- theres nothing nicer than a little one smelling of baby talc, snuggled up on your lap-we sat all snugged up watching Simply Red on the tv-- then we just had to carry them to bed -easier said ten done--I had to swop Hollie over to Grandad Bill so I could take Lucie off him to carry up the stairs!
The pair of them slept all night-then we had to leave them with their mum and dad while we went to the market--they are back down again this weekend-so looking forward to that!

Warning--baby ahead !

Little Ollie came round to see us again today--and he pulled this face  as I was taking his photo--dosent he look wicked?

Cant believe how quickly he is growing up--he is a goog little thing though bless him.

Hollie and Lucie

we have had Hollie and Lucie tonight-our little grandaughters.First time we have seen Lucie-she is a little darling bless her! Had her bottle and went straight to sleep! Hollie wasnt far after her!
