Watch your wait!!!

One of the problems we have returning from Africa is that any weight we may have lost is quickly regained!!!!!

 Having ate far too much food with our son, David and his wife, Sarah we are now visiting our daughter Rachel’s family. Before leaving Milton Keynes we went to their local Vineyard church where we picked up about 20 knitted dolls that Marilyn has made for the babies at Potters Village. Each comes with a free cuddle!!!!

In Ely we have been enjoying more food!!!

However, we have to find time to catch up with our ‘grand parenting’ duties. Thomas (TJ) is almost 3 and full of energy.  He has been taking grand-dad out for walks to show him the river, the play areas and especially the trains, which there are lots!!!! It is particularly exciting to have to wait at a railway crossing especially when 3 trains come!.

This has left time for Irene to catch up with his almost 1 year old brother, Mark.

In the meantime Malcolm has been catching up with culture. Having gone the previous week to the New Vic Theatre in Newcastle under Lyme to see the play about the Bronte sisters (We are Three Sisters) this week in Cambridge he went to a concert by the singer / song writer Martyn Joseph. Not that Malcolm is a fan - he's only been going to martyn's concerts for the last 25 years, and gets regular newsletters from the supporters' club!!!!!
