…..that our eldest son was born. This morning I had no jobs to do at work so I spent a couple of hours continuing ‘the big dig’ in the rear garden. Several wheelbarrow loads later I had cleared out a large area of soil and roots adjacent to where I left off yesterday and then moved the soil again to level out the ground where it had been dumped. Hard work. Really hard work. I then lay the first layer of hardcore before I decided I’d had enough. I had plans to go out to lunch with E. By now it was noon anyway so I went inside, got washed and changed and off we went to a place about twenty miles away in the direction of where our son and his wife live. He was in bed until 4.30 because he is working the night shift at the moment. He is a policeman so he gets to work all sorts of weird hours! Anyhow E and I had a lovely lunch and drove on to give him his birthday presents just as he was getting out of bed. We spent some time with the two of them before coming home early in the evening.
It only seems like yesterday when I saw him come into the world. My how time flies!
