What's put a smile on your face today?

Well trained boys Rosiebee. I love to see children who have a dog amongst their pals. When my litte grandsons list their friends, they always include my dog and rather confuse people who don't know who the mysterious 'Nell' is.

It is these small things that cheer us up. Well done those boys!

I was at a park yesterday with the DGDs and in the playground area the place was full of litter...there is a bin...I picked it all up and put it in the bin. The two women sitting by the bin looked at me as if I was mad!! It was not their litter I am sure but there kids were playing amongst it!

*their kids...

I spend a lot of time watching the birds in my garden. Yesterday a young blackbird started to flex her muscles. She was feeding when some collared doves decided they would share the food. She drew herself up to her full size and stared at them. The collared doves backed off and the blackbird looked so surprised that she had won

nothing-yet!

DH but I'm not telling!

My 7yr old granddaughter who walked home from our early morning swim today with her sun dress back to front.. she was mortified when her Mum said T your dress is back to front... "quick Nan," she said,"before someone sees". My daughter and I both smiled at each other over her head while we 'readjusted the dress.

DD humming to herself while reading a book propped up on the kitchen table and eating an after school snack. Daily smile

I was a bit early at the pool so I swam a mile.

Showing Anno a spectacular waterfall.

We've arrived this afternoon at DD1's to return their dog who's been holidaying with us. Eldest DGD treated me with the biggest bestest hug ever. It was lovely as we don't see her too often.

As if I would? She's more likely to lead me astray!

Watching baby Harriet, now 5 weeks old, giving the most beautiful gummy smiles

GD nine and a half months wanting me to pick her up, saying mammam, mammam. GS4 said she is saying Grandma!

My twin grandaughters are 10 months old now, and starting to babble at me when I walk in their house. They clap their hands repeatedly so I'll do nursery rhymes with them. I'm putty in their hands

My 4 year old twin grandsons started school today, and the photo of them larking about in their uniforms this morning, with massive school bags, is lovely. Putting it on my profile. They look too young, but they really are ready for school. Two lovely little live wires.

Adorable when, lucky teacher

Just heard a re-run of Charlotte Green ''corpsing'' while reading the news. it was the classic time when she played the first ever recording which was of someone singing Au claire(?) de la Lune. Someone in the studio, apparently, said it sounded like a 'bee in a jar' and off she went. When Charlotte giggles it is so infectious , off I went. I'm still smiling.It is on Facebook but I don't know how to do a link.

That sounds so funny. I'd love to see it

This morning I rang Seb (aged 5) to wish him luck in his new class only to be told, quite logically 'Don't worry Ma, I'm going into year 1 and one of my teeth has already felled out!'

when - what a delight.

Seeing a photo of my two grandchildren, in the summer rain, in shorts and t-shirts, with wellies on, holding umbrellas, taken from a back view. Big

and then....

Coming back from my morning walk and hearing one of my friends, who is staying with us, singing and playing his guitar in the garden.
