Keep taking photos Popeye - its sure to bring results when you can show images of how things are.
Picked the first raspberries yesterday, they're looking good.
Later today I get to do my 'evil gran' thing & give those two grandsons their joke gifts. I've arranged for just they & their sister & parents to be here, I though it was a bit mean to do it in front of their cousins tomorrow.
A Merry Xmas to everyone, may it be an excellent day.
Pray tell.. how did the Evil Gran thing go down Lillith?
Oh, I loved every minute! The gradual dawning realisation that their angelic gran had remembered & was indulging in a wee spot of revenge was especially sweet, followed as it was by a certain reluctance to actually unwrap their gifts!
I'm fairly sure I heard one of them mutter 'oh god no' at one point.
Luckily they both have a good sense of humour & saw the funny side, but I think they were both pleased when I produced their actual presents as well.
Their cousins though, are quite annoyed that I didn't do it on Xmas day so they could tease the daylights out of them.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
