Apologies for regular readers about the inactivity on the blog! We have  been on a Grandparent visit which was certainly an Up! We were delightfully entertained by young Owen- he will be a year old Monday week (we are up for his family party at the weekend). We have both enjoyed doing bed time story times with him – he sits on one of our laps while the other reads -his beautiful wide blue eyes and smile just makes you glow all over! On Tuesday we are visiting our granddaughter Ellen who is now two months old and looking forward to see her smile! She went swimmong for the first time with her Dad this weekend!

The downs of the weekend I shot off yesterday afternoon to watch my football team give an inept display in losing at home. Ironically three weeks ago the talk was perhaps the Hatters  getting close to the play offs now I am beginning to look nervously towards the wrong end of the table!

The other downs have been being plagued by a succession of punctures  on my Winter Road Bike  so I have just invested in more expensive tyres! watch this space to see if it was a good investment!
