Saw Flash Harry on Sunday,with his Mum and Dad, they came in the Van ,slept in it as Grandson has fitted it out temporarily so they could see his maternal granny and me ,but they stayed outside on the pavement and me in the garden.
He has grown, and has his Induction day at school in another week.
He told my daughter off the other day, ( she is his paternal granny).
She has a dog, a super little terrier, who follows the little boy everywhere in normal circumstances.
It had eaten its daily teeth cleaning chew but was whining for another, FH was in their garden ( his) and the dog was wanting to go in to him ,my daughter told the dog to be quiet - Flash Harry burst into tears — “ You have upset my friend and made me sad “ !
He seems a bit tearful at the moment but his Mummy has been unwell so he has had to amuse himself which he normally does, but has got used to lots of time with Mum and Dad together ,Dad is back at work now, but FH is looking forward to school.
Gets his uniform this week just Navy and white .
I have sent some cash as he will need good shoes and wellies ,warm coat and waterproofs etc as the school does a lot of outside stuff, not a full Forest School
but partly so.
He has outgrown his last Winter clothes and with Furlough I can imagine things are a bit difficult.
They have been showing him pictures of me as it is so long since we have seen each other, so Grandson put me on FaceTime ———Blimey!
I really will have to get my hair done, have a face lift and get those thingies
that go over your teeth !
Do you believe it but one of my many eye drops has sent my teeth quite yellow also my eye whites ,not skin as yet or I would be worriedI had Yellow
fever.
Busy day , sorting out a unit in my lounge, what papers to keep etc .
I always have all bills and statements in date order in separate files, in case I die in the night ,it will be easy then for my son to sort out my affairs.
I have been watching “ Return to the Chateau”, have watched it before but I
am absolutely lost in admiration for the sheer hard work the couple Angel and
Dick Strawbridge have put in and what sympathetic restorations they are doing .
Full of original ideas for the wedding venue, it is truly lovely.
Angel has saved so much original material,especially wallpapers ,her ideas are fantastic.
A very watchable programme.
I feel exhausted though—- The Work!!!
I think I will have a relaxing bath tonight ,got a book about the families who lived around the Ribblehead Viaduct on the Settle to Carlisle line, families of the Navvies ,the washerwomen, cooks etc and er ahem other “ Occupations” .It would be a real shanty town ,like the Wild West.
We visited and the viaduct ,all red brick arches ,so high, really is something
,and it is spectacular ,but graveyard nearby has so many children’s graves, it is a very bleak spot totally exposed ,life would be truly hard.
A relative by marriage who is Welsh ,and thought there was nowhere so beautiful as Wales was truly impressed by The Lake District ,had no idea there was such beauty up in The Frozen North!
Well kitchen tidy up in case burglars come in the night then bath then bed and a read .
Hope some good weather tomorrow ,the washing is piling up and I love to hang it outside.
So Goodnight and sleep well , Viktoria.
