10 Today

Today is our elder granddaughter's 10th birthday. There's not much merit in my blip but it's a record of what I'll be doing today. It's fortunate that her birthday falls on a Wednesday this year which is our school pick up day. Here is her gift, card and a bar of chocolate which Cameraman brought back from Suffolk. There's chocolate for the six year old of course but not with a happy birthday wrapper. I'm pleased with the biscuit wrapping paper too though she might have preferred Taylor Swift to bourbons and custard creams I suppose. 

What a lovely girl she is. Caring, kind and still happy to hang out with her grandparents. Those ten years have gone in a flash and now she's on the cusp of young womanhood. We are so lucky to have shared her first decade. 

The birthday visit is later. Firstly our plan is to go out with our nephew and great nephew and have a coffee somewhere. They spent yesterday on the water at Loch Lomond and today they're staying around Stirling. The weather has picked up considerably thank goodness.
