Grandma and Helen 2

Grandma went home on Tuesday after a pleasant couple of weeks. On May bank holiday weekend we went up to Westward Ho! (I love that exclamation mark) to do the seaside thing and the little people loved it, antics on the slides and the bouncy castle, running on the beach etc. Helen has come on again and the other day shouted (no, bellowed) "Angus!", copying Anne as she called out to him. She is turning into a right character. Angus now carries her around wrapping his arms around her upper torso and she loves it, giggling al the time, looking forwards. Once he accidentally (?) picked her up by her head and she did most definitely did not like that! Spring is bursting out everywhere at the moment, I took Mum and the boys over to Copplestone on Saturday (after dropping some doors off at the pine Strippers at Crediton) and the lanes were awash with blossom and greenery, most lush. This really is the most beautiful time of the year. Anyhow, Mum and the boys went into Exeter on the train and came home via the bus, all jolly exciting if you are 6 and 3! A few good piccies illustrating this can be found at
