Good news

Life is quite packed with events, somehow - I never seem to have caught up with what I plan to do. Of course, quilting doesn't help... . I've finished one of the quilts for the bunks we bought a while ago, for accommodating grandchildren. Here it is. 

Now I'm quilting the other one, which is the same colours but a different pattern. Such fun. 

Look at this fine wallflower - beautiful in every respect but it's orange. I could swear it was yellow last year. Hmm. 

I took the Edinburgh grandchildren to the Camera Obscura, which does have a camera obscura but is mainly five floors of optical illusions. They had fun. 

Here they are on the roof, spotting buses (in Big Grandson's case). 

The view is good, though the weather was a bit hazy.

Here I am, taking a photo of the pair of them in a distorting mirror. 

Then they came back here and played with Brio. Their parents were at a wedding down south. 

Yesterday Mr Life took Big Grandson (at his request) to Newcastle, to ride around on the Metro. Each to his own. 

And Son-in-Law 1 and I took Big Granddaughter to a climbing wall and trampoline place. Here she is, at the top of a wall. You wouldn't get me doing this. Each to her own. 

Today we went out with our walking friends, along cycle paths for five miles or so, ending up

in the gardens of Lauriston Castle, in their spring glory. 

Such a lovely day, in good company.

 

In house news, Daughter 2 and her husband have now exchanged contracts on their new house, have definitely sold their flat and are thus moving on the 29th of this month. Whew! 

And about an hour ago, my very nice nephew WhatsApped us to say that he and his equally nice girlfriend are now engaged. 

So - some good news!
