Delivery suite

This week's grandparent day was pretty full on: reading stories, doing puzzles, playing makebelieve games, interspersed with walking to the market and cafe, hide and seek in the abbey ruins, and a long session of falling backwards on the sofa (carefully in the older one's case, wild and reckless in the younger - in fact I seemed to spend much of the day following her around guarding against head injury).

At one point an apparently engrossing session on the chalkboard was suddenly interrupted by this impromptu enactment of 'call the midwife'. (See extra for the outcome.)

After all that I was in bed before 10.
