Birthday boy by happypat

Birthday boy

Our youngest grandson in NZ is seven years old today.
Ant sent this recent photo of them all out on the boat. Max caught the fish they are holding.
A proud moment!
We talked to them this morning. Finn has gone from rather a quiet shy boy to a chatty confident young man.

Three good things:
1. Big news re Christmas just now but a sensible decision I feel. Stay at home!
2. It was lovely to come back to a nice warm house after we had been out in the rain.
3. Hardly any Christmas trees left....we went out to buy a small rooted one but the only ones left are some really nice properly grown pot ones. Luckily we have a voucher we can use...we didn’t have it with us so going back on Tuesday. It will be like buying a tree so we think it’s worth it.
Great smiles !! What a great birthday treat

I like the idea of buying a real tree that will grow after the season. So sweet to see your boys. Such a great image.

Happy birthday to Max. You’ll be really appreciating the warm house now it’s winter.

You must feel your grandsons are living the life in NZ. Imagine doing this in England!

Lovely ...

@maggiemae Well not at this time of the year Maggie but they can in the summer...myself I rather prefer Christmas in the cold but I can see the attraction. I know they live a great life!

@beryl I agree Beryl & this new strain is a big worry....let’s hope although more transmittable type I hope it’s wearing itself out & diluting itself!

@julzmaioro Yes they were excited ...Max caught it & Finn did the deed of dispatching!

@louannwarren Miss them so much at this time of the year....the rest of the year is fine but Christmas is special...well usually...not much celebrating this year!

@lyndamcg That’s exactly right & was good to see them this morning. They were going to a massive Festival of Lights in the park...

Happy Birthday to your grandson. What a beautiful picture!

@pamknowler It’s great to see their little faces pop up on the screen & now they are older it’s easier to talk to them...they don’t go all shy & tongue tied!
December 19th, 2020  
@thistle01 It’s a smasher isn’t it...lots of fish there!
December 19th, 2020  
@casablanca There was much excitement...I have a video of the whole thing!

A very happy pic of your boys all out enjoying themselves.

Lovely sunny pic. Totally the right decision - but why get everyone's hopes up then dash them? Always last.minute.com u-turns.
