September 2nd, 2013 by Roger Darlington

Although I try to see my granddaughter Catrin – now almost two – each week when I collect her from nursery and sometimes babysit, we have only had her with us overnight on two occasions. The first was a year ago when I blogged here and here. The second was this weekend. Our son Richard […]

Her parents Rich & Emily managed to obtain tickets for the Paralympic Games here in London on days when Catrin’s nursery was closed for staff […]
