Wednesday

When I got back from Tonbridge on Wednesday, Terrie and I picked Woozle up at school. She was in a fabulous mood, so we put some Wellies on her and took her to play on the Leas. She jumped with glee into every puddle we saw. She was running after a seagull because she wanted to cuddle it. Needless to say, she didn't catch the seagull but it again brings out how gentle and nurturing her nature is. She is always wanting to cuddle animals and babies, and at home she won't let the family eat until the dog has been given his food.



She was walking on walls and looking at the sea with wonder. This is the pleasure of a grandchild. As people age, they can become jaded and too busy to see the beauty and wonder all around them. Seeing the world through the awed gaze of a two year old revives the spirit and brings a joy of its own. Wendy has an infectious exuberance and sense of adventure that is intoxicating.



We stopped for some Hot Chocolate which we all needed as it was a cold day.



See how much she enjoyed her hot chocolate?



These simple pleasures add great richness to life.
