Visitation

All four local grandchildren turned up this afternoon (18 months, 5 years and twins 8 years). "can we stay for tea please?". Raid the freezer and find meatballs, and these are added to a tomato sauce and then spagetti. All plates cleaned so follow with fruit and a dip in the sweetie tin!
Then "can we stay the night... pleeeese?" hurriedly make up beds. "Oh yes we have Brownie parade in the moring we need to be at 'x' at 8.30 a.m." And we need to take sandwiches, please... Bang goes my lie in!
