It's controversial, but I'll swear he's the spit of his grandad. Naturally, I now have responsibilities. This fellow must not support Chelsea nor must he speak with a softie southern accent. Jesus, I'll not sleep tonight... Anyway... WEEEEEEEEE! |

Can I please change that for a whisky glass? Unfortunately, we live in Cornwall and they live in Richmond (the London one), so we'll only be able to execute our grandparently duties up close once in a while. We do see quite a lot of ' em, though, as our son has never lost his affection for Cornwall (or us, I hope!). Chance of a heavy day on the trains tomorrow...! |

Our 3rd one - a girl - was born four months ago - and I've no doubt she'll be bossing the two lads (6 and 8) when she gets into her stride. Great fun to have them around, and we're lucky in that my son and family are just 30 minutes away from us. They'll be along for Sunday lunch tomorrow - with mayhem and mischief the order of the day. Enjoy! |

03 Oct 15 - 12:29 PM (#3741531) Subject: RE: BS: Anyway, you lot can bugger off, because From: GUEST,Time stamp Don't do what I did..each of my three grandkids first word was Grandad (ish). Son in laws incessantly drumming "Daaaadddeeee" into them for weeks to no avail, we have them a few hours send them back shouting "Gandar". Funny how they all independently initially pronounced Grandad, Gandar. Fortunately it's a grin between us all, but I do feel a bit guiltyish, but not for long. Congrats Steve it's a joy mate, and I have it on good authority the daftest Granda's are the coolest, so you're in good shape. |

04 Oct 15 - 06:13 PM (#3741805) Subject: RE: BS: Anyway, you lot can bugger off, because From: Steve Shaw It has been determined, much to my chagrin, and by family members allegedly much "wiser" than me, that the lad looks far more like his dad than like me. That's the little chap's loss, in m'humble. He could still have my brain and common sense, of course. And anyway, my mum told me tonight that I was the most beautiful baby she'd ever seen, and she did after all work in a maternity home for years. The one I was born in. Mrs Steve's going up to London on the train tomorrow for a cuddle. I'm stuck at home for two days with bloody plumbers putting in a new boiler. Never mind, I'll be there before the weekend. We did facetime tonight, and I can tell y'all that we're the grandfather of the most beautiful child ever to grace this planet of ours! |

I had to be content with half an hour of Facetime, but at least you can do that these days. My turn will come! |

I have much more sense in these things - my oldest daughter lives over near Marlborough, 125 miles away and my son in Australia, so I get much more peace and quiet. The speaking ones of the Australian grand-boys have decided that I am "Grumps" so they are showing some signs of intelligence despite their location. |
