Why I've been Away


I mentioned in my last post that I was expecting a grandchild and here is the proof. He's called Lucien and Lucky for short born 11 October.  I spent a few days with Olivia, bossing her and her husband about and pretending to be a nursery nurse - something our mothers had perhaps.  I rather wanted a crisp uniform and  some white lace-up shoes and a thermometer in my top pocket but just felt a bit scruffy and in need of a hair appointment (which is why I have cropped as much of myself as possible in  this picture).  A manicure too, I see.  






So that accounts for a week or more of my blogging absence and  I can't remember where the rest went.

  2. Why is it that we grannies apparently know nothing about childbirth or babies? My daughter told me everything I needed to know before the birth of her first child. Apparently having given birth to three was not enough experience for the vital job of Grandparent. Ha! I soon realised that a grannie's job was to undermine everything daughter taught her babe. We have such fun with the grand-daughter now!Hehehe...

  4. What a delight :) Welcome to the wonderful world of grandparenthood.

    I found that as much as I loved my children, they are independent adults who come and go as they like. But grandchildren..... ohhhhhhhhhh..... they are special. They are the true meaning of life.
