Family visit

This morning we were at Hexham General for an appointment for Mum. We had to wait over 30 minutes, but the consultant is so nice, that we could not object. He was very helpful.

This afternoon, my cousin Eric, with wife Pauline, brought three grandchildren to see us. They all live in Sunderland and the children spend a lot of time with their grandparents while their parents are working. Tomorrow Fraizer, 6, starts in Year 2. The next day Brodie, age 4, starts in reception and that leaves Kara, age 2, at home.

We had a lot of fun with them but I did not achieve a photo of the three children together. In my extra, see the boys blowing bubbles in the garden. The bubbles were rubbish, so I won't buy those ones again. The wands fell into the bubble mix and were difficult to pull out. They made poor bubbles and it was windy. The children enjoyed them.

We had all sorts of toys out in the lounge and I was on the floor and playing most of the time. Arth and Aggie don't like this, but they are a miserable pair!
