NEW BABY...BOY ARRIVED

As ever the phone went at 2am on Monday morning for me to go over to stay with the children....After Matt & Zoe headed off I was able to rest on their bed and drift off for a couple of hours sleep.
Joshua awoke around 5.45 and came to his parents room to be surprised when he saw me...he said HELLO and then jumped into bed with me just as his dad called to say the baby had arrived. I'm not sure how much Joshua took in but he was excited because he had a baby brother......a whopping 9lbs 2.5ozs

Ruby is 7

Wow I have to wonder where all the time goes and this Sunday Ruby will be 7. We took Amber and Phoebe to Emma's for a party for Ruby. We went down on Friday for the film evening and cake. We stayed over and spent Saturday with Auntie Emma & Uncle Richard. We took Amber and Phoebe as we are all awaiting the birth of Matt & Zoe's baby....its getting close

Great cake made by Ruby's mummy, so talented.....

Amber and Daniel had a god evening and spent a late evening outside playing and talking before bed...

Lily Day

 

 

 

 We went to visit Lily, oh and her mum and dad....

Isn't she beautiful !!!
We went out to lunch with Rachel and Lily and then we wondered around Darwen heading off to find the Minerva craft shop. What an amazing place with all sorts of wonderful fabrics, wools you name it they had it. Managed to restrain myself from spending.
We all went out in the evening to the Houghton Arms for tea. It was a lovely day and I am so pleased that Rachel has a job.

Family Grave- Page

We managed to clear Michael's grandparents grave, cut away the grass and weeds. Michael cemented the ends. We laid the chippings we bought and I put the flowers on and the grave looked loved again.
Here is this grave are buried
Margaret Page  - child
Elsie - wife - died in her 70's having married 3 times in all
Percy - husband - died in his 30's

Although the lead lettering is not completely clear it is just about readable. As we were doing the work we chatted with a lady who had only recently found her mothers grave, her mother had died when she was a child and her father had never told her where she was buried. Interesting stories out there.

From this to....

Clear up

Michael had an eye test this morning and I went off to try to reduce my mobile phone costs. Found a deal for £16.99 and a free phone! Yeah only now I have a spare IPhone . Then it was off to Saffron Hill cemetery to tidy up the graves.
Mum and dads looked nice when we had finished and we started to clear up michaels gparents grave. We cleared weeds and need to get some chippings to cover the top
