Alfie, Elsie and a Selfie

Our daughter Claire , came round to see us yesterday with Willow and Alfie, while Matt did some gardening.

Jane and Claire were 'playing in the garden' with our granddaughter Willow, leaving me in charge of our new grandson Alfie and new puppy Elsie

The radio was on, so I sang along with Witney, The Hollies and U2 to Alfie and Elsie , as you can see they were impressed by my singing !

Jane took this photo on her iPhone

Ha ha, I love it! One went to sleep and one stared into the middle distance 😂😂 Brought a big smile to my face. Way to go, Grandad!

@marlboromaam thanks Mags

@casablanca Casa' my singing can be nice sometimes, falsetto notes when singing to a baby and puppy ! We have a video of me singing Bob Marley's Three Little Birds to Willow when she was a little baby ...she smiles at me ...

Looks like you're in your element Phil!

So effectively you were left in charge of the two babies! Archie looks to be sleeping contentedly, Elsie looks a little as if she might bolt if you moved your hand! You look happy with your lot 😊

Very sweet image. If Willow was there too it would have been even nicer. You have a lovely family Phil.

Looks like you're in your element Phil! What could be lovelier than a baby and a puppy :-)

[Pat Knowles]

Aw you are in charge of two babies while the womenfolk play! Love it! You look very at ease so well practised!

What a beautiful picture, so natural. Elsie seems to have found her favourite spot - and that's at your side. I look forward to seeing pictures of these youngsters growing up.

Such a lovely photo.

Looks like Willow certainly enjoyed your singing

[Boxplayer]

Excellent!

[Corinne]

You have for sure the magical power to make them sleep with your singing … better than make them cry ;)

[Annie D]

great photo Phil - your singing appears to relax Alfie - not sure Elsie is overly impressed hahaha

Entertaining both babies at the same time - well done!
