AnnC, I too am an orphan, My Father having died 70 years ago.

We're both orphans, but our children aren't and they've remembered their poor old dad!!

Robert, you must have been really young. I can't imagine how your mother felt.

It's more than 30 years since my Dad died and when my Mum died more than 10 years ago I realised how awful it is for very young children who lose both parents early on in life. <3 <3

Good for them Magpie. <3 :-D

Off to eat BBQ food.

I hope everyone's child enjoys the afternoon (and evening, in case I don't get back on today). That covers all of us. <3 :-D

JoyLouise,

I was young but now I am very, very old!!

Good Morning Mr M and Pals :-D :-D :-D :-D

Only now I am realising that this is the Daily Smiley thread lol :-D

My dad died 40 years ago this year, so I am hoping to spend some time in Pembrokeshire where he is buried this year. Hopefully for about a week. :-)


And it's Grandson 1's very first Father's Day today! :-D
So Happy 1st Father's Day Granny's Boy <3 :-D


Have a good day Everyone <3 <3 <3 <3

Good Evening Everyone :-) :-) :-D :-D ;-) ;-)

Just came back from a lunch treat at a village pub.

Daughter in Law had booked in advance for 1:30. At 1:45 we tried to get someone to take our order, at which point the young girl in charge of the restaurant refused and said someone would be back to us after 2:00, the time they had in their diary. When queried she insisted we had the time wrong and they could not possibly be wrong.

By this time the two grandchildren had been sitting patiently for nearly half an hour, and when grandad pointed out this wasn't really on, if only for them, she proceeded to argue the toss at which point we suggested she had better get the manager.

The pub manager did sort things out and we had our food at 2:05, but all she had needed to do was to apologise for the booking mix up, promise to get the food to us as soon as she could and that would have been the end of it.

Apart from that it was a lovely lunch.

Evening Everyone :-D

Fly, does your OH know you've put a pic of him on here? ;-) :-S :-D

Yes GP,

I like the Waterfront, a business which has been run by the same Family for many years. I used to go there for our takeaway and if the had got any unusual fish off the boats they used to offer me some to try.

Hiya Joy :-D <3 shussssss ;-)

Evening Robert :-D <3

GP, a great day then . :-D

IGP, it's a good job that she didn't spoil the whole day for you. :-(

The food was on our plates when it started to rain slightly so we ate indoors. It's bucketing down now and family gone home. <3 :-D

So it was you who sent the rain Joy :-0 ;-)

Robert, I am not very very old ..... but I won't see 70 again. :-0

Joy does that make you an old spring chicken ;-)

Robert - I would recommend this place to anyone
who love fish and chips. At 2pm the queue for the
takeaway part of the fish restaurant was very long
and we had to wait about 20 mins. for a table but it
was worth it.
