River, our first grandchild is 22 today. That doesn’t really seem possible. This is him when he was 15 minutes old.
He liked his presents, Rhys helped me choose.
Later Mal and I went into Deal to have a wander and never ending coffee in Spoons. The local one is the Norman Wisdom. We also mastered the new parking arrangements in Sainsbury!
As we arrived home, a guy we know who used to work in the Help the Aged charity shop was cleaning our street and he apologised he couldn’t do it too well today as there were a couple of cars parked there!! I’ve always chatted to him because he was always up early when I walked Ellie in the summer and would fill dog water bowls up outside his shop. I used to give them a donation every now and then because of it. I did wonder why the bowls are left empty now, obviously because he has left! It’s nice to have someone local looking after our area, than just any old person from Dover council.
Mal went to the allotment later in the afternoon. We tried a couple of tester paint pots on the wall, one is definitely too dark.
Not a brilliant day for me, grief strikes when you least expect it.
Thought for the Day -“Simple moments with your grandchildren often become priceless memories.”
