Today we drove to London to visit with Richard’s daughter, son-in-law, and six month old granddaughter. We really couldn’t have asked for a better drive.
Yesterday I received a video of my grandson pretending to be a frog so we just had to send him this pic of me today.
So nice to spend time together with his family. When you live far apart it makes visits even sweeter.
We arrived at the perfect time. His granddaughter had just woken up from her morning nap. What a sweetie. She can sit, crawl, and play. So full of new discoveries. Plus she has a fabulous great big smile.
I loved playing with her but even more than that, I loved watching Richard play with her. They immediately hit it off. He’s a great entertainer.
I have to mention our meals. My salad was delicious. But this is what made the noon meal extra special. His daughter had gone to a British shop and bought him a Cornish Pasty and a Vanilla Slice. Richard was so pleased as he loves both of these and hasn’t had them in a long time.
The rest of the day was spent, in between the little one’s naps, watching and playing with his granddaughter. And of course spending time with his daughter and son-in-law.
Supper was a delicious red wine and short rib pasta dish. super tasty. Followed by more ‘watch the granddaughter’. Great entertainment.
She went off to bed and then we were next. Early morning 4:00 am departure tomorrow. Not easy to get up but well worth it at the end of the day, especially this year as we’ll be driving a new route. Hopefully interesting but uneventful.
