Birthday greetings to Michelle (and Catrin) – and a review of “Becoming”

January 17th, 2020 by Roger Darlington

Today is the birthday of former American First Lady Michelle Obama (as well as my granddaughter no 1 Catrin) and this is as good an excuse as any to reprint my review of her bestselling biography “Becoming” and to recommend it to you (if you haven’t already read it). “Becoming” by Michelle Obama Barack and Michelle […]

Regular readers of NightHawk will know that I have a granddaughter called Catrin whom I used to see every week for the first four and a half years of her life. But then, last summer,  her parents moved to Nairobi and so I see her much more rarely these days. I’ve been over there twice […]

I like to collect my granddaughter Catrin – now four and a half – from nursery once a week and this week the day coincided with an invitation to parents and carers to come along a little earlier and read some stories to the little ones. I was certainly up for that and so were […]

Not the day I planned with my granddaughter Catrin, but still lots of fun

October 7th, 2014 by Roger Darlington

Following an earlier exploratory visit to Legoland with my granddaughter Catrin, I wanted to take her again before the weather became too Autumnal. So I arranged with her parents that I would take her today. Vee said days ago that this would not work out because a period of rainy weather was forecast. In fact, […]

More fun time with my granddaughter Catrin

September 25th, 2014 by Roger Darlington

Earlier this week, the Labour Party held its annual conference in Manchester and both parents of my granddaughter Catrin were attending parts of the event, so we looked after her for a couple of nights and a couple of days. We had lots of fun together and, as always, she was so chatty and funny. […]

July 28th, 2014 by Roger Darlington

This photograph of me with my three and half year old granddaughter Catrin was taken by Vee’s nephew David at the home of his brother in Egham at a family gathering this summer. David had a copy framed for me as a birthday present. I love it. Thanks a million, David.

Regular visitors to this blog will know that I try to see my granddaughter Catrin – now three and a half – once each week. However, I was not needed in the past couple of weeks, so I went three weeks without seeing her and then this week I am childminding one evening, looking after […]
