As part of our (not really) Summer holiday, we planned to spend some time with my Mum and Dad prior to a week in Wales. It was Emily’s first time staying at Grandma and Grandad’s house, and we weren’t too sure how she would get on, but she took to my childhood home like she had also grown up there, and was right at home within minutes.
Riding on "Beep Beep", Daddy's childhood push along
Grandma and Grandad it seems have particularly hard names to say, so one of the first things the supreme being did was re-christen them to Amma and Dad. Much simpler all round, although a little confusing on the paternal side.
Emily just loves a garden to run around in, so with the sun smiling not much could go wrong. We met old friends Kev and Jill on their narrowboat, took a trip to see the farm animals at Umberslade Farm, went bramble picking at the Lickey Hills, met big cousin Ruth, as well listening to Daddy witter on about his childhood memories around Birmingham. We even got Amma and Dad doing races in the garden – not bad for 2 young at heart folk in their 80’s. A really big thanks to both of them for giving us a really special time in Brum.

Quality Dad-Daughter time in the garden
