Meanwhile back in 2019 !

Like many families, due to the current Covid 19 restrictions, we are seeing our family courtesy of the internet, and are so thankful that we can. But looking back to last year, I can remember a lovely outing to Mudeford where these gulls were 'Diving for Dinner' - see here


four of our grandchildren hoping they will catch some crabs
I seem to remember they did


and youngest grandson being so patient feeding the ducks


Thank goodness for photographs and lovely memories

The best things in life
are the people we love,
the places we've been,
and the memories we've made 
along the way.

I'm certainly looking forward to seeing them all in the summer, if Covid 19 restrictions allow! I'm sure we will enjoy an ice lolly/popsicle, or two, together -  these white chocolate raspberry ones are nice, they are low carb and dairy free, recipe can be seen here

All the best Jan

great memories and enjoyed the photos - surely it won't be that long we can all enjoy family again...well here we can ...they've opened up shops and restaurants in our area....still with social distancing and masks required in some places.

Sweet family photos Jan. Isn't is wonderful to have social media at our fingertips? This pandemic would be so much more difficult for the world without it. I am hoping summer has some normalcy too. Fingers crossed!

What a fun memory. Last year on this weekend I was getting ready for three weeks in England, Scotland and Ireland. So grateful I stayed a little longer in the UK and got to visit with dear English friends.

It's so hard being away from our loved ones, thank goodness we have such happy memories of times we've shared with them to keep us going.

Time will come and you will see them once again and be able to give them the longest hug.
We can see our 5 grandchildren who range from 5 to 13 years of age, and two of them come and live with us every second weekend - and for fun 2 of them video chat with us.
Lovely scenes in your photos.
