Wonderful afternoon out today with the elder 2 grandkids

9 year old was laughed at for being a wimp when walking through grass and after toughened up - she knows damn well that Gran and Pop will look after her but pretend crying about naff all is NOT acceptable
her brother (autistic and nearly 5) was told to just STAMP on the grass and possibly scratchy stuff - and DAMN that stuff got stamped on!!!

then got to a playground with trampoline and zip wire and BIG climbing frame
kids has a great time
followed by ice cream in the cafe (Phoenix park - Runcorn(ish) great bike facilities as well!!!!)


great afternoon - lots of hugs from grandson - made me remember something from when I worked in a ASD specialist Primary School - a TA who said "the one thing that all ASD kids have on common is that they are all different!"

now we need tickets for the Jungle Book play on Sunday - $deity know how the 5 year old will react - but it could be 'interesting!!!!!

Morning all.
An interesting day ahead as I have virtually nothing special to do**
**I have some paperwork to clear up.......I have said before, I wish I had never heard of PoA .
Was up at 0600. All tidying up etc done. Just the grill pan to wash....I really should have put tin foil on the base.

Good morning all fellow retirees.
A sunny start to the day here.
A few domestics, followed by the usual dog walking.
Then, the excitement of a second sainsburys delivery in a week as we have some friends coming round over the weekend so a few things were needed as well as the beer and wine .🍷🍺
Then, a meeting of the escape committee this afternoon at the Mitre :cheers:.
No cooking today, a takeaway tonight , MrsP's choice.:hungry:
Another busy day in paradise :cuppa:

Salut tout le monde. Up already and about to drive to Caernarfon after filling up with fuel and taking Molly to our daughter's. The sun is up and someone painted the sky blue so it should be a smashing day on the train, driven by a steam engine, first class no less. The food and scenery will be greatly appreciated so I will see you all again much later. :hello:

Make sure you get the photograph of yourself on the footplate, or at least by the locomotive. :okay:

A few things to do before we stroll down the village.
Our best mates from Minehead are coming to us on Sunday and we will all be going out for lunch. They will be staying overnight, so MrsD has to get their bedroom ready.
