Here in the UK many children/schools are on a weeks half term holiday. In fact some schools were closed last week, others are closed this week and some fortunate pupils, and their teachers, even have a two week school closure!
As regular readers to this blog will know, we have five wonderful grandchildren. Three of them were off school last week and the other two are off this week! We so enjoy spending time with them, hearing about what they are doing with their many and varied activities, friends get-togethers and parties etc.
At the moment, the weather hasn't been too good and photographs of fun gatherings are not very numerous! Then I suddenly remembered those wonderful summer days we enjoyed, so I've been sorting through some photographs to share.
Starting off with a lovely time on the River Stour at Tuckton, near Christchurch Dorset
Eddie at the wheel, (eldest) grandson by his side and me relaxing enjoying the boat-ride and views
From the riverside, things got a little more energetic and it was time for some 'fun golf'',
well I didn't get a hole in one but it was such fun and I'm sure the dinosaurs liked my pink shoes! LOL!

As well as the Dinosaur watching me, so too were (eldest) grandson and grand-daughter,
always nice to spend fun time with them.

Aargh! The dinosaur actually moves!
Such a fun filled day, and I seem to recall that it was back for a delicious meal, low carb of course!

Lovely photos and wow to those pink shoes! Valerie
ReplyDeleteAmazing memories.
ReplyDeleteLove that dinosaur - and the river cruise looks wonderful.
Jan - I truly your enjoy your recipes, but how fun to get a "peek" into what you do when you're not cooking! As you may recall, we are in the Northeast of the UK right now, and just spent the day in Skipton, which included a lovely walk along the canals! I hope you enjoy the rest of the school break with your grands!
