    One of our neighbours has just become a grandparent after her daughter and son in law struggled for years to have a child. She was in tears as she showed me a photo, lovely news on a beautiful sunny May day.

    My Pattys Plum poppy has just opened its first bloom and it's every bit as beautiful as I remembered from last year.  Doesn't compare though to a photo of 1st grandchild, that really is special @AnniD.

    My 8 month old grandson Gabriel has just been discharged from hospital after being taken in with breathing difficulties due to bronchialitis yesterday morning. So relieved. A great reason to be cheerful 😁

    Lovely news for you both, Yvie and Hazel. You couldn't help but be worried under those circumstances.
    Hope both continue to do well  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
