Let’s hope weather stays fine for the garden and that mum and dad in Anguilla have already had chickenpox!

We arrived on Saturday to look after our grandchildren of nearly 3 and 8 for a week.

Yesterday , I worked like crazy doing all the things my daughter has neglected to do so we could have an indulgent day, I got the laundry and ironing baskets empty, pony groomed, floors washed, cupboards filled and my husband valeted the mobile bin (car).
I Fell into bed at 9.30 reading up on local walking trails, I had bought sandwich fillers etc and was looking forward to school and nursery drop off then boots on and away.

As I helped granddaughter 8 get ready for school at 7.00am I saw them…..lots of them, she is covered in chickenpox😬.
They were not there when I bathed them both last night!

We are now confined to the house and garden.
Mummy and Daddy are in Anguilla.
At least it’s not raining.
