Are you ever too old to enjoy them?



Today the Grandchildren came for the day ... warm weather ... 200water balloons from £ shop last time I was over there.
I did get a lot wetter than I used to ... laughing & coughing (extra puff of ventalin!)
Will pay for it later ... But it was fun!

I have a brilliant photo of OH and a male friend of ours (going back a few years) in their underpants in the garden after using those big super soakers.I think the kids disappeared with embarrassment .Our friend drove home in his pants lol

Have to admit I get pretty peed off with having to clear up the bl**dy balloons from my garden when the neighbour's (teenage - hence the distance the balloons go) children have water fights!!!

Dear Carol

Hello

Too old?!
Never!

I love blowing bubbles from the bubblemix with a small circle.

I make piles of leaves and we all jump on top of them.

Earlier, this year it was smowballs in the park with cameras out.
Most of the kids had never seen snow.

These things bring out the joy of living.

Very best wishes
xx
