Today was interesting...
One Boy woke up and his first words were, "Gangan, I like sleeping at Granny Wendy's. What do you think about us staying here for Christmas?"
I think One Boy is having too much of a good time!
He then refused to come with me to meet Auntie Sarah preferring to stay home with Granny Wendy and Grandad Brian. Was my nose put out of joint? Duh!
Anyhow, Auntie Sarah, Eoin, and Granny had a lovely morning. Coffee at the George Hotel, and then a wander round the shops.
On our return, we found that One Boy and his granny Wendy had taken a stroll down to the park. Not to be left out I followed them.
This was not a good idea!
The minute we met the heavens opened. Not just a little shower, but a real heavy downpour. Within seconds we looked like three drowned rats.
Oh well, that's life.

Back to Blighty
One Boy and His Granny are now settled at Granny Wendy's house in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, England.
The flight over was interesting, due to an enormous amount of turbulance, but non the less we arrived safely and ready for our UK adventure.
One Boy has had great fun playing with his cousin Keelynn. Keelynn is a tad different to One Boy. She is adventurous and fearless. The hope of all onlooking adults, is that they turn out to be a good influnece on each other!!!! OK, so we can hope.
Auntie Sarah, Uncle Mick and baby Eoin, took One Boy and myself out for lunch yesterday. We went to the Hartford Marina and had a great time.
On the wall was hanging a picture of a statue of Oliver Cromwell. One Boy looked at it, and then said, " I would love to see that statue."
No sooner said than done. That particular statue stands in the middle of St. Ives, a mere five minutes away.
One Boy's face was a picture when he saw his statue in real life. Of course, a quick history lesson followed. I am never sure whether to be proud or horrified that Oliver Cromwell is a local. Was he in fact a hero or villain? The debate goes on.
Today, we are all going for Sunday Dinner at Auntie Sarah's house. A true family Sunday with the family.
