..I cant believe that I may see my daughter and boys soon....Little one was 3weeks old when I hugged him last ...and is now 18months old...So many hugs and so much love ..cant wait...bursting at the seams now....
....fingers crossed for Oz next where our son has built a guest house in the garden...sleep will not come easily tonight as am absolutely buzzing with the fact that I may see 'some' of my overseas grandchildren!! Whopper...sooo excited..

Oh you are so lucky. Overseas travel is but a distant dream for us over here. The highlight of our week is, once again, a trip to see the specials at Aldi. All our holidays have been cancelled( not by us but the tour companies). All our socialising is on hold. Well the garden will benefit, as usual and so will the knitting and sewing projects. Not to mention the reading and spending time on gransnet! The bathrooms are positively gleaming.

Very exciting! My best friend lives in Abu Dhabi and is now booked on flights for next week. Her dd, sil and two years granddaughter live round the corner from me. She will stay until October although her husband will have to get back to work in two weeks. Can’t wait !

Wednesday! Good heavens! Wonderful but I can imagine how it must have thrown you farview

I hope you manage it, and if possible perhaps you could let everyone on here know when you are there!
I know your time there will be so precious and posting on Gransnet will be the last thing on your mind but if you do get an opportunity great!

Enjoy yourself ! You, like many others, have waited long enough.

JenniferEccles Sat 07-Aug-21 11:37:24

Well I’ve got pretty good hearing so you never know!!
Delighted for you.

Have a wonderful time, farview smile

Just checking in to see if you have posted.
I didn’t like to ask in case it was all off.

Great news anyway. Bet you will struggle to sleep tonight, but on the other hand you may well be shattered with all the preparations/packing.

Keep in touch farview and you don’t need to be told to enjoy yourself!!
