Morning all, we've been quite busy sorting out Jacks house and of course having some Benjamin time.

 

[Dietkitty]

Aw that's nice but did he shrink in the wash? He looks tiny in your arms Jim

 

[Gemstone]

Glad you've getting plenty of baby time Jim - enjoy x

Morning all,

Babies are boring, I'd much rather play with Olivia. The kids went out to a bonfire and fireworks do with Olivia and left Benjamin with us, he just slept the whole time. I think Colleen was disappointed, she was looking for an excuse to pick him up and cuddle him. LOL.

I love babies Jim - and I love little people too - saw my grandsons yesterday and it was great x

 

[Jim]

Morning all,

Gem, how often do you get to see him?

 

[Gemstone]

There are 3 of them Jim - an 8 year old, a 6 year old and one 5 in January. To be honest Jim, I don't get to see them very often. We have to make a journey to West Wales which takes around 2.5 hours so a day trip is quite tiring. It is better if we can arrange an overnight stay nearby. We were at a motoring do at Celtic Manor on Saturday so we used a deal we had and moved on to Llanelli for the overnight stay so the journey was a lot easier this time. We usually spend around 3 hours there and then another long journey home. I guess we get to see them every 6 - 8 weeks - sometimes more, sometimes less. We usually take Bugsy (my little smart) as their driveway is long, muddy and full of craters and Bugsy has good ground clearance - not like the audi, which grounds frequently - I end up getting out and walking - wellies essential! With all the animals around you have to avoid horse poo and cowpats too so night walking is a bit hazardous x

Morning all,

They sound a right handful Gem, and what a place to live it must be a kiddy paradise. We are so lucky having our kids and grandkids living so close really.

 

[Gemstone]

I love seeing them Jim and they know what Granny & Grumpy are for - playing, reading and cuddling - not to mention soaking Granny when she is drafted in to do the hair wash in the bath - The eldest hates it so he says "If you attack me with the jug, I'll make you wet" - so I say " You know Granny always wins - easier to give up now......" and I win..... every time x

Morning all,

We are off to Jacks again today, still lot's to sort out. Why do old people have so much clag? Mind you, I don't envy the kids having to empty our house when the time comes.
