Bella and Monkey

I couldn’t resist Blipping our Bella this morning. She loves her cuddly toys. She sleeps with them and plays with them a bit but never rips them apart and she also uses them when she gets over excited if someone visits. Because she knows it’s naughty to jump up at people and she gets told off,  she runs and grabs one of them and presents it to the visitor instead - but doesn’t actually let them have it!
She didn’t want to leave Sabrina’s this morning and hid while we were packing up the car. The girls were also sad that we were leaving.
Yesterday Amelia said such a sweet thing to Frank. She is always asking about family relationships and said to Frank ‘Grandma is Mummy’s Mum but you are Mummy’s Step-Dad’. 
‘So what am I to you then Amelia?’ Asked Granddad. 
‘ You are my Granddad, you’re not my Step-Granddad because you’ve been here all my life even before I was born.’
 It brought a lump to my throat. I think Frank was expecting her to say Step- Granddad. The girls really love Frank and tell him so often.

Sabrina arrived home last night at half eleven but we were fast asleep and didn’t hear a thing. This morning Amelia and Lucy were overjoyed to see Mummy and she took them to school so we didn’t need to rush.
We left there at 10 am and were home at 1pm. It wasn’t good travelling weather as the roads were wet and there were lots of lorries spraying up dirty water from their tyres.

Anyway, it’s nice to be home and able to drink coffee without it going cold from interruptions. I miss them already though!
We will see all our Grandchildren together at the end of March as we are having a family weekend away in Northumberland.
Just a quick rhyme tonight.

Homeward Bound

Eating up the miles on the motorway
The distance between us grows
We chat about the weekend
And how quickly the time goes.
We’ve answered your tricky questions
Sorted out your little squabbles
Read your bedtime stories
And calmed your collywobbles
Now we’re at home drinking coffee
Enjoying our own peaceful spaces
It’s nice to just sit and enjoy silence
But Oh, how I miss those wee faces!

Goodnight Blippers :-)X
