A lovely wee boy, callgirl. Our Max was once that size. Now he 12 and bigger every time I see him - likely to prove useful in a rugby scrum!
I am procrastinating and need to stop!

Here we are again
Happy as can be,
All good friends and jolly good company.
A hearty welcome. 
and plenty of virtual HUGS.
Anno, Grace`s big brother is a Max! Here he is.
Grandmabatty I'm sure that you find something entertaining to do with your wee grandson. Perhaps he could "tidy" a drawer. And then, of course, you have to be certain that before he does, there is nothing that he might wish to pop into his mouth, chew on, etc. It can be a nightmare to monitor a little person who is curious about whatever he holds. You need eyes in the back of your head. 
We've had a cup of tea on the terrace. MacS's blood stained peeked hat is in soak. Hey ho!
It's a lovely end of afternoon in bonnie Kintyre. Tomorrow, the funeral of the youngish lady who died recently, is to be held in the village. Residents will line the route from her home to the church in a socially distanced manner.
Baby is due to be born tomorrow. However, as we're all aware, babies arrive when they are good and ready. 
My thoughts are with you all. Thank you for your company. 
Dearest Doodle We are here whenever you wish to have company.
Nannyt The last thing you need right now is Storm Francis.
Charleyg May we have a pic of the new hair-do sometime soon?
I looked through the window. I saw MacSporran with a chain saw and he was cutting a tall hedge down to a low level. Heart in mouth, I started to do the ironing. Door opens. MacS goes for the TCP. Heart sinks again. He has really done his arm a mischief. A falling branch has skinned an area of about five inches of skin and it was bleeding profusely. Heart sank, again. I patched him up with a proper dressing and bandage. He looked sheepish. About five minutes later, he went into the utility room and I knew (without asking) that he had hurt himself yet again. I investigated. He looked doubly sheepish. He had tripped and the top of his head (badly scarred due to having a recent zapping) was cut and bleeding. I attended to it and barely said a word. He then said that he realised he was unable to continue with the job. I hugged him long and hard. He's 80 in November. He has underlying health issues. He wants to feel useful. I have told him that he matters and the garden can wait. We'll try to find an odd-jobber in the village who would be willing to finish off the hedge cutting. He is such a lovely man.
Grandmabatty Was it a "cheeky" white wine that you enjoyed? That particular reference always amuses me. 
Good afternoon my lovelies. It is a glorious day. Bright sunshine with a mere whisper of a breeze. There was a heron standing on the shoreline. By the time MacS went across to take a photo, he/she had moved on.
Let me start with the photos. Hellogirl1 little Grace is beautiful and she definitely has your lovely eyes.
NanaandGrampy, I was cheered to see a post and pics from you. Your darling grandsons will have had the time of their lives on holiday with you. Alpacas are such sweet natured animals. I loved Cooper's comment.
NannyT Oh dear! You will have been sorely tempted to speak your mind. If you can hold on just a wee bit longer...we'll all nominate for a sainthood.
Susan Long ago, I had high hopes of having a dear little shed (all to myself) like Chaleyg's - with appropriate shelving and a place to sit on a garden chair as I supped a brew. I even imagined a potted geranium on the window ledge. Dream on...our shed is cluttered, festooned with cobwebs, a hell hole in the making. I no longer look let alone venture inside.
Last night's wotsit...
Another crawl into bed! Sis IL is an arachnophobe. We have had two full on panic attacks and she is refusing to go to bed. This woman is 60!!
I have given up and come to bed
Ha-ha Ann, would that Grace did take after me, because that would make me lovely as well! No, she is the image of her mum.
Oh, OK then, here`s the one with me on it, see what I mean Ann?
Lovely pics N&G, of a lovely time.
Soop, our get together did happen, started off hot and sunny, but at 4pm the heavens opened, and the rain came down in stair rods, plus the wind blew a hooley! My grandson borrowed a very large gazebo off his girlfriend`s dad, just in case, for which we were all very grateful. It was lovely to see Max and Grace again, especially Grace, she`s almost 6 months now, she was 3 days old last time I saw her.
I`m posting a pic, but will spare you the one of me!
Evening all from the wilds of Norfolk.
We are recovering from a fabulous week with the little boys that included wild swimming, chips at the beach ( which was very quiet) and an amazing evening learning about and then taking some very chilled alpaca for a walk .
I hope all are well here although I noticed a post on this page about falls so hope no one is badly injured .
I’ll leave you with a pic or two.
Soop are we still waiting for the new baby?
