How wonderful – two new grandchildren! Many congratulations to all. I love your description of watching your children parent their children and 'passing the baton'. I hope it's all going swimmingly and you're having many lovely moments together. Sam x <br />PS Also lovely to read about you meeting up with fellow bloggers. What a fab thing to do.

I'm still getting used to the grandparent thing with just the one tiny grandson, where I imagine those new 'Granny' feelings are all old hat to you now, blessed as you are to have so many small people in your life, but I can also see that the arrival of another is new and fresh every time. Enjoy all the cuddles.Annie Cholewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608057589525908147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-62377920587795334532015-10-16T09:55:26.484+01:002015-10-16T09:55:26.484+01:00Oh, Elizabeth - it's been ages since I've ...Oh, Elizabeth - it's been ages since I've blogged, but even longer since I've read any blogs - just spent this morning trying (vainly) to get caught up on my favorites, and I'm still behind! Congratulations to you on yet another precious grandchild - I know you must be over the moon with so many Littles in your life these days. Loved your post summing up your whirlwind US trip - we were in NYC in August to move #2 into university (he is right at Lincoln Center, the lucky so-and-so) and saw many of the same sights. I think we all liked the Highline best, but all of it was delightful. Loved your shot of the GG bridge - it was like that when we were there last summer - how does anyone ever get a clear shot of it - it seems like it must always be shrouded in mist. I took on a part-time job teaching an evening class at a local Uni, and as always, 'part-time' has taken over most of my time - at least for the moment while I get up to speed. In any case - I am still determined to get to Wales and meet you in person...but first I need to work on passing that driving licence test...I think learning to drive in the UK is going to be the hardest thing I have ever done! xxMsCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03623997911568143459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-71910908617695023972015-10-13T08:40:46.829+01:002015-10-13T08:40:46.829+01:00Congratulations on the new arrival - the thrill ne...Congratulations on the new arrival - the thrill never lessens!<br />So you've been to this side of the pond and met Frances - you Lucky Duck! There are few of us left from the CL days so many years ago. I wish your trip to San Fran could have extended to the Island.

My second child was born in haste under a grand piano so I understand - though I shall never travel down the A38 again without wondering which layby it was! I was abroad when I had my first child so my parents had to wait a while to get a view of their first grandchild - no Facetime in those days!<br />Your USA trip looks amazing too - but welcome home and cherish these times with your lovely family, as I know you will.Carah Bodenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429666157453439321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-28430161830209462332015-10-06T12:28:18.012+01:002015-10-06T12:28:18.012+01:00Thank you Rona.
