Yesterday while in the front garden, 2 young lads walked past. One was about 11 and the other about 9. They had a dog on a lead and were carrying a football and some golf clubs, looked like they'd been to the park. Further down the road the dog went on the verge and did a poo. My first thought was that they'd just walk on, whilst an older person would probably clear it up. But the older lad took a plastic bag out of his pocket and spent quite a while cleaning up the mess. Now there was no-one around and it would have been so easy to leave it. It cheered me up to think that they were doing it because it was the right thing to do and not because they had to. Just a little thing, but it did make me smile.
That is lovely , all"s well that ends well ! Toddling off for a while now to see son, DIL and GD"S to say cherio, always like to see them all or at least speak before I go away. 
Nonu the convoy was just that...so straight and neatly spaced. Swans are beautiful creatures.
Bet that was a sight to behold. 
We looked out the window and saw a convoy of swans gliding through the sea... led by an adolescent signet, followed by mother swan and three more signets. The cob swam alongside. The sight brought a big to our faces.
Happy for you, kitty I can picture the children marching to music. What's more, I adore Pimms. 
Gally - lovely picture
Our Harriet (Hattie) came with me to see my Mum today, with her big brother and her Mummy (DD2) and made the visit an enjoyable one for a change. Mum is on her best behaviour when there are other people around.
The home had a 'Last Night of the Proms' with a local band and Pimms, on the lawns. The children marched around, were admired by everyone and we all had a super time. So I have a on my face.
Gally I thought that my initial message had disappeared [one moment it was there...and the next, not] hence two almost identical messages. 
Gally I think that your wee Harriet is adorable.
when...I'm smiling with you.
Gally Wee Harriet is gorgeous. Will be seeing you soonish and seeing other family photos no doubt.

I'm smiling because I am going out for the day with sister and future sister in law to enjoy a spa day and sedate hen do, before the wedding in a couple of weeks. Nice to have something enjoyable to do at last. See you all tomorrow
Ha Ha, yes they are a handful but adorable
when and Gally Lovely pics!
when those two look like a whole lot of double trouble and with angelic hair and faces, I bet they get away with murder!
Seeing Harriet's gummy grin - she's now, unbelievably, 6 weeks old (I've just uploaded a photo of her). Sadly, I am leaving on wednesday for home and the next time I see her and her brothers and sister, she will probably be crawling, if not walking. I am making the most of every minute until I leave 
Thanks, Gracesmum. Just been babysitting the boys and every sentence was peppered with 'Mrs Bowman (teacher) says........' They are under her spell. Aren't teachers fabulous?
soopI love the one of wee man in the bucket
