I thought I would just post a few photos so you can see what a lovely time we are having here with Clare and Kenny. The weather hasn't been great so far but it hasn't stopped us from doing anything and I have got a couple of projects completed, which is amazing for me!!
It's strange isn't it how different your children can be and the different times you have when staying with them. Richard and I are very lucky in that way because we get to stay with them when we are back in the UK and have good quality time with them. With Vicki and family, apart from the lovely catching up time we have, we have of course got the children and they keep us on our toes and we absolutely love being with them; the cuddles in the morning and the stories at night time are not to be missed. We also go to church with them, as a family, and that's quite special as well. We feel very privilaged also to feel part of their group of friends, and they have lots of them and that always helps keep you feeling young. I even get to go on "girlie" evenings or lunches which is great fun. Then with Clare and Kenny, we have lots of walks, doing craft and mooching around "crafty" shops which I absolutely love, poor Kenny always sorts out our computer problems without EVER complaining and just being able to sit on the rocks or beach and watch nature at work. Brilliant.

Well, that's about it for now, should any of my family be reading this, especially the "Smith" family, I hope all is going well. Jess, I'm sure you are enjoying yourself at your new college, can't wait to hear all about it. Briony, good luck at Uni, I hope you settle in soon, knowing you, it won't take long. Clare and Kenny are looking forward to seeing you at their house. Charlie, I guess this is going to be a tough year for you at school so good luck. Hi to everyone else.
I am now going back to my knitting while Clare is working, perhaps I will be able to finish something else while I'm here!!

What fun! Cute dollies. I will send you and Clare a couple of patterns for animals which are only two pieces. When you cut them out, you are sure they will never resemble the real thing, but somehow they come together. I know what you mean about the difference in visits. But I always enjoy them both. I sure wish I could get more time with Rob & Hannah, but even if I could, they are so busy with climbing and school now that Han is in high school.
