Where do I start?
Over 2 years. Is there still anyone out there, anyone still blogging, anyone reading this?
More likely not, but that's fine, this can be just for me!
Our family is changing, constantly
Bob & I are parents to 6 pretty bloody awesome kiddos and now we are also grand-parents to 1
We have a granddaughter! How amazing is that?
I still get the 'did you say 6?' when I talk about our family, but its still a treat to hear the surprise in the voices when we say we also have a granddaughter.
Our kiddos have become the most adoring Aunties & Uncles. Not once was there or is there any sign of jealousy, nothing but pure adoring love for their little niece.
It makes my heart swell to the point of bursting when I see them dote on her, the fierce love they have for her. Of course they have their days when all they want is a bit of quiet but she has so many to choose from there is always someone willing to be her 'slave'!
Time moves without compassion, loved ones grow older, frailer and sadly my wonderful father in law is no longer with us.
Time isn't a healer as far as I'm concerned, time lessons the pain of loved ones no longer being with us, but the gap is never filled.
Happier Days

Can you compact almost 3 years into 1 blog post? No I don't think you can, not in the slightest but I can give you a glimpse of what we've been doing, where life is taking us.

When you have a visitor who runs a flower import company!
The kind of visitor welcome any day of the week

Needless to say this little soul plays a big part
It gets harder and harder to get the bigger ones in a photo, but sometimes we manage to sneak them in

Our traditional trip to Brighton & our first with La La with us!
After years & years of waiting I finally got my very space, a shed in the garden!
sadly no longer this tidy but full of candle making & craft supplies!
Day tripping to Seaworld Birmingham
(2018)
Trips to the park
When you have a visitor who runs a flower import company!
The kind of visitor welcome any day of the week
Staying cool in the heatwave 2018
More day tripping
New Hobbies
More day tripping
When the perfect time to go in the garden was during the evening
The 2018 heatwave will go down in the books!
Heatwave madness
Finding treasure for the shed!
Even more day tripping!
we did a lot of day tripping!
And back to the seaside
We also had a lodger for a few weeks
Gerald the budgie!
It was a year where we made lots of happy memories
Holiday 2018
(October half term)
And there we have it, a snapshot of life
There were other memories made
Bonfire Night were the 2 older girls & Tahlia came with us
And there was of course work, chores and day to day life but that will do for now!
Merry Christmas
See you in 2019

Thanks for popping by...I love to hear from you and really appreciate you taking the time.
I am sorry about having to ask you to prove you're not a robot but for some reason I am having a LOT of spam nowadays {and we're not talking fritters!}
