Question: What is absolutely certain to put a smile of your face ?
Answer: Spending time with your Grand Children and Great Grand Children
On Wednesday evening Claire (granddaughter) and Brooke (great-granddaughter) came visiting, stayed for dinner, and left us plum worn out. Brooke is a proper little dynamo.
She has more energy than the Duracell Bunny and likes to use your’s truly as a cushioned climbing frame or, on occasion, as a trampoline. Brooke is teething so tends to dribble a bit. At least that was the only reason for my shirt and trousers getting wet. This time.
On Sunday we met up with Keeley (granddaughter), Chris (grandson-in-law) and Summer (great-granddaughter). Summer is another little bundle of energy but being older she is a little more selective about how she expends it. Summer also has a secret smile.
The sort of smile that says “I know you are watching me and I have you right where I want you”
Young Summer decided that you don’t just eat an Eton Mess with a spoon. Oh No. What you do is pick out the meringue with your fingers. Then what you do is dunk it in Grandads custard. Methinks there is a dish missing from the kids menu.
Later on you would not believe how much fun can be had with a handkerchief playing ‘hide ‘n’ snatch’ and then having a ‘tug ‘o’ war’.
It only took us 30 mins to get home but apparently Summer was fast asleep before we got there.
After we settled down with a cup of tea we were ready to join her in the land of nod.
