Little visitors

A lovely week has just gone by - no blogging because a selection of grandchildren came to stay.  They've gone back home now - so a bit quiet, but I do need a bit of sleep!
We did all sorts of  non electronic things
Like taking them round to bang on a friend's piano...






Exploring on Birkrigg Common - lots of lovely little paths in the bracken to disappear down

and running through the long grass, not to mention baking and painting and digging up potatoes






It's been a test of patience, for them, not me.....
They've had to cope with all grandma's films for kids being on video!  Waiting for rewind is sooo tedious
And only being able to get terrestrial TV!
Cooking from scratch so a long gap between I'm hungry (at 3 o'clock)  and tea
All toys are from 1980's (if not earlier) 
Only plain crisps available
We have to wait for the water to heat up for a bath
And considering all that they've still asked to come back!!
