It's a week since my last blog post for a very good reason. I now have a second beautiful granddaughter and have been supporting the new parents by looking after granddaughter number one. It was a lovely few days where the bond between myself and Miriam has grown as we have overcome the emotional upheaval together. I left the family going off to school together for the first time, Miriam excited to be introducing her new baby sister Rebecca to the world.

The picture shows my hand and Rebecca's, a difference of 55 years.

Looking forward to many happy visits :-)
