Find Ancestors

I guess I'm fortunate with my grandchildren now they are teenagers.....certainly not as hard work as when they were younger and I was younger with them!


Hi Sylvs. Yes he's comfy in the recliner but the loo is upstairs which is a trail for him at night. We can get help with certain things but Social Services in this area don't 'do' beds. I think the idea we thought of today is going to be the best option at the moment and, we will only have to buy one bed :-D



Nearly bedtime...........night all.....~~~
