Hi dear friends,
Got back from a wonderful visit to my family, last week in Norfolk.
Caught up with all the news and celebrated my second youngest Grand-Son Elliotts 10th Birthday the day i arrieved,then my oldest Daughter Karen and I baby sat him and youngest Grand-Son Louis while my Daughter-in-Law Whisked my youngest Son Glen off to Rome for three nights for his 40th Birthday on the Friday,(Wish it were me)
Then met up with middle Son Jim and his family, and was introduced to my two Great- Grand-Children Oliver 14months, and Summer 3 weeks old.Who I met for the first time.It was truely wonderful.

    Ah they are lovely Catherine , glad you had a good time , it’s a while since you went over there . x

  • Catherine Hami...:

    Hi Irene,Thank you.
    It was really great seeing them all again,not very often it happens.I don’t go up very often as it’s a ten hour journey all in, which is a bit of a drag.
    I used to go up more when I could fly up which is only a 45min flight but Fly Bee don’t go there anymore,which is a shame.
    Hope your well.x

    Sounds like you had a wonderful visit with the family Catherine. I wish I could go to Rome too, so many wonderful sights to see, but family times are also great. We had a visit from my son his pregnant girlfriend and all the others too. It’s great to be with family at Remembrance.

  • Catherine Hami...:

    I certainly did dear Don, just wish it could be more often.
    Glen took some great pics of Rome which made me more envious,it looks wonderful.I’m sure you had a great time with all your family around you.x

    Sounds like you had a fabulous time, Catherine…always wonderful to spend time with family…although I’ve never thought of you has being old enough to have a 40 year old son, let alone he being your youngest!! Congratulations on all those beautiful grand babies!

  • Catherine Hami...:

    Cute..you put me to shame,I haven’t seen my family for a couple of years…I really must get myself visiting.

  • Catherine Hami...:

    Thank you so much dear Jamie.I wish I could see mine more often,
    but I find the travelling so tireing.
    I hope Fly Bee put Norwich back on their schedual,
    as it was so convenient.x

    What delightful grand and great grandchildren you have Catherine. Love that little Leprechaun suit too !
    Ours range from 14(1) 10 (2) 9 (1) and we can never see enough of them.

  • Catherine Hami...:

    Thank you dear Roy pleased you like the pics.Oliver looked so cute in his Santa’s little helper suit,His Great- Aunt (My Daughter) bought it for him for Christmas,but as we wouldn’t see him he gave us a show.It was a shame she couldn’t get anything to fit Summer, she wanted to get her a fairy or Angel outfit, but she is just so tiny.Must wait till next year.x
