Farewell boys.



They're now back in London, but there's been plenty of Croquet, Golf, Go-karting, Bike riding, Billie walking, eating, drinking, laughing, and sunshine.


The boys were also taught how to open Oysters and bottles of Champagne; essential life-skills.

The week went so quickly, but we'll see them again in August, when, no doubt, we'll do it all again. Bye!

I gather you will have all the grandies there in August. Worth waiting for.

They come home with wonderful memories and good experiences, that's what Grandfather is supposed to give to the grandchildren.

Cro Magnon said...

Not sure how many yet, but it could be all of them.

Cro Magnon said...

I hope that's the case. They certainly had a good time over the past week.

Oysters and champagne. Their grandfather is teaching them well.

The things you learn at grandad house! Handing down the traditions, stories, lessons to the next generation and creating memories which will become tales to tell their grandchildren.
You'll all be looking forward to August

Cro Magnon said...

They weren't terribly keen on the Oysters, but loved the Champagne.

Cro Magnon said...

That's what it's all about. Yes, can't wait for the August invasion.

Jomo said...

Sounds like you all had a great time.Billy will be missing his new friends no doubt.What happy memories the boys will have to share and lots to tell their friends. I am mighty impressed that you taught them such valuable life skills.Is Billy expecting you to keep up the pace of all those activities until August when it all happens again!

New World said...

You will be getting down to some work now.

Cro Magnon said...

Billy can't understand why they're not still here. I can't wait for him to meet them again.

Cro Magnon said...

That's the only problem with having guests. My work load is doubled, and my every-day work gets sidelined. I've now got a lot to catch-up on.

Carol Caldwell said...

Sounds like it's been a lot of fun and good memories to look back on. It always goes too quickly.August to look forward to though.

Cro Magnon said...

And plenty to do in between times.

Tom Stephenson said...

Now I know why you always wear a hat.

JayCee said...

I think you must be the perfect grandfather :)
I lost mine very young and missed out on all that fun stuff!

Pipistrello said...

What a lot of lovely fun was had! Never to young to learn these life skills, and you'll be no doubt consigning these tasks to them in future while you can sit back and be waited upon!

You all had a fun-filled week and now you have another time like that to look forward to in August. You are a lucky man.

Cro Magnon said...

Bugger. My secret is out!

Cro Magnon said...

Me too JayCee; I didn't know any of my grandparents.

Cro Magnon said...

That's the intention. When I was small, our 'char' used to get us to peel potatoes, trying to leave one long piece of peel. We loved it, and had no idea that she was simply getting us to peel the potatoes.

Cro Magnon said...

I am indeed. Even more grandsons coming for Summer too!

The Weaver of Grass said...

Those oysters look divine!

Sue said...

I see your wisteria is in full bloom, everything looks wonderful.

Cro Magnon said...

They were beautiful; some of the biggest, and tastiest, I've ever eaten.

Cro Magnon said...

Both the Wisteria and the Clematis are amazing at the moment.

angryparsnip said...

Cro Magnon said...

He had a really great time with them... he'd hardly leave them alone!
