See below re photos above 😂
Hello all. I tried to visit as many as I could last week. It was a full on week. I had a hair appointment, dentist and treated myself to having nails done. Then on Saturday it was up to Yorkshire to celebrate our eldest grandson's 18th birthday. It was fabulous, weather was so good. He'd gone out on Thursday with his mum, dad and brother for dinner. On Friday, the actual day he went out with his friends. Saturday was family. I loved having both sons, their wives and all my grandchildren together. His other grandparents were there as well. His mum's sister and family were away in France, but I think they will get together later. It was so good for our grandsons that all GCSE'S and A levels were finished.
We gave him some money and I bought 18 different bars of chocolate, put them into a box and made a wallet for his money. He was happy! 😀
It was all such fun and hard to come home and settle back into the usual routine.
Have been back at my 'desk' prepping a kit and getting ready for my next class.
I had always wanted to recreate the photo we were given our 40th Anniversary of all four grandchildren. Finally did it! 😀 - see above -as the same as last week original and recreation at the top and I can't change them.
The day before Harry's birthday we remembered my mum. Went with my brother to place flowers on the grave. Three years now since she died. I know she would have loved to have joined in the celebrations.
Sorry for such a lengthy post. Hopefully back next week.
I loved sharing your day too! Especially the then/now pic of the four youngsters, what a great pic. I think your idea of the chocolate vars was great fun to accompany the birthday money - I’m so pleased that you had such a brilliant family time and your mum was there, smiling down at you for definite xxx

ReplyDeleteIt looks like Harry had a very happy birthday and had lots of family and friends to share it with. Nice gift container. Who doesn't love chocolate? And gift cards if you are a teen. Nicely done, too. Sorry to read about your mother. It seldom gets easier, just less painful. Happy WOYWW from #1.
ReplyDeleteOh Anne what a fabulous collection of photo memories for the birthday weekend. Love the then and now recreations too. Harry certainly had a great weekend. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
ReplyDeleteGreat collection of photographs and sounds like you've been busy too. Sorry your mum couldn't be with you for the new photo but it was good that you could do it again. Wishing you a very happy woyww, Angela x9x
ReplyDeleteI love the recreated photos, was doing just the same thing with cousins last weekend! So glad you've had a wonderful time. Love the pics of the boys with their Dad too, no doubt that the older they become, the more the genes are comparable! Good for you for getting back into it with class preps, I'm running late here and still havent been near my desk this week!
ReplyDeleteLove the before and after photos, defo a scrapbook page for me! Also love the 18 different bars of chocolate idea, maybe I could do that for my son's 25th in December although I'll probably forget by then LOL. Gorgeous card too and happy times, lovely memories made. Hugs BJ#13
