I'm going to try my best to write here at least once a week, so here goes. I took Nino to watch the Starlings last week and he was more interested in collecting shells. I parked the car on a side street and we got the tram to North pier. The conductress gave Nino his own ticket in a little folder which was so nice of her (he also got one on the way back minus the folder)
It was a lovely, mild evening but the sun had disappeared once we got there. We still enjoyed ourselves though. I love this time of year when there are almost no holidaymakers. I'm very grateful that people still like to visit Blackpool, but I do love the peace and quiet and having the beach almost to ourselves. Nino had fun collecting shells while I watched the starlings. They're really starting to build up now. More and more of them are coming in to roost. By the end of February there will be thousands of them, then by March they'll disappear again until about October. I took a few photos and a couple of videos of the evening.
I spent a lovely half an hour holding Alana just before taking Nino to the beach. She gave me the most beautiful smile. How did I get so lucky to have two such gorgeous Grandchildren when I thought I'd never have any? Love them both so much ♥
Today I crocheted Alana a little hat with some left over wool. I can't wait to see her in it.
Whilst sorting through my boxes in the loft I came across a few poems that I wrote years ago. They're not brilliant, but I'm writing them all in a book to leave to my Grandchildren. I like to think they'll read them one day in the distant future and think of me :) I did have one published about 20 years ago in a book titled Out of This Word. It's called Son and it was about my brother's adoption. It was part fact/part fiction and I got top marks for it when I entered it for my English GCSE in later life..
