WOYWW 473

Oh gosh where does the time go? I can't believe I've missed two weeks. There have been all sorts to sort out, Doctors appointments, collecting our granddaughters from school, my Card and a Cuppa Group - now have three ladies :-) , trying to sort out new windows,going to Stafford to cheer on Matthew as he competed in the Iron Man Challenge - he did  Half Iron Man which seemed phenomenal  - 1.2 mile swim, then a 56 mile bike ride and finish with a 13.1 mile run and then last weekend our eldest grandson's 13th birthday celebration :-)

So it's WOYWW - if you want to know more then go and visit the   lovely Julia and join in.
So to my desk
 It's all a bit of mess at the moment , I am trying to sort out my retired SU stuff, make way for new things, prepare for my Crafternoon Tea and sort out some cards.





Look forward to visiting lots of desks.

I mentioned that ourGrandson Harry was thirteen at the weekend. So we went up to Yorkshire on Friday along with his other grandparents. It was a beautiful evening and we went  to Cricket Club to watch both grandsons practise whilst enjoying a glass of wine. Afterwards we went back for a lovely dinner at home.
Saturday morning it was up early for cards and presents. Afterwards Harry and his friends went off to an Aqua Park ( with our son and D.I.L.) for some fun. The grandparents stayed with Sam ( younger grandson) and Ralph - the dog :-) After lunch DH and I went for a walk whilst others watched football. When Harry and co returned we had yummy birthday cake and then watched The Greatest Showman - great film.
On Saturday evening we went to an Italian restaurant - chosen by the birthday boy - yummy food and a lot of fun.
On Sunday other grandparents set off to Scarborough and home. The rest of us travelled to Derbyshire - to halfway point and met up with our younger son and family so that they could also celebrate with Harry. Lots of fun - though so hot on Sunday!!















Almost as tall as Grandpa now!!!

Brothers - enjoying catching up and the sunshine.
It was a lovely weekend with some lovely memories made. Thank you for looking.

  2. Hi Anne, you sound like you've had a very busy two weeks. Harry's birthday celebrations look like they were fun. I only live 10 miles from Stafford so you were within touching distance of a shed visit. Have a great week. Sarah #5

  4. My goodness Anne, you have been busy.
    Congratulations to Matthew on his Iron Man Challenge - gruelling to read never mind take part. How proud you must have been.
    Certainly a busy weekend in Yorkshire but how lovely, sounds absolutely great and filled with lots of happy moments and as you say, memories made. Harry is such a good looking young man and what a lovely smile he has. You must be so proud of your family.
    May you have many more moments like this.
    Hugs, Neet 9 xx
