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.
