family

a family portrait I made for my Bro for Xmas..I'm the pink one!!
I've been away from blogland for some time again..I'm amazed I ever found the time to write posts several times a week! Life seems to have upped the pace and Ive spent  a lot of time in the hospital with my fabulous 89yr old nan. My Mothers day involved finding my nan collapsed on the floor of her bungalow in a very sorry state. I am so thankful that I happened to be going to see her that day, as I usually only visit once a week with my little terror boy on a Tuesday. Also, my folks were on holiday and had been away a week and still had another week to go. You never can tell where the twists and turns of lfe will lead you..I really hadn't imagined my Mothers day spent in Casualty until 1 in the morning! But thankfully, nan is doing really well and is due to return home tomorrow.

Although it's been a stressful and tiring couple of weeks, I have spent hours and hours chatting with my nan and I now know a whole lot more about my heritage...so many stories of my family and of life in the wartime. I've really enjoyed that part of it, sometimes it takes a big shake up of things to show you how important family are.

There have also been babies born, the lovely Chloe had her babe at home (I'll leave her to tell the details!!). it seems quite profound that I should see a baby, just a few minutes old on Saturday and then my dear old Nan at deaths door on Sunday. Ah well, the wheel keeps turning...I enjoy the ride but I'm pretty tired right now...and on that note I say farewell for now! 

Hope all you fellow bloggers are well and happy...hooray for family and hooray for friends!...life just wouldn't be the same without you crazy bunch

    everyone should spend more time with the older generation, the stories they have are always so interesting.

    Thanks ladies, she is back home now but it will be a while before things get back to "normal"...whatever that is!!?? I have loved hearing the stories of her time in the land army and how the country folk treated her because she was a East end of London girl! Brilliant stuff!

    Sorry to read about your poorly Nan. I hope she's got a lot better now. She's lucky to have you as a grand daughter.
