Last week was extremely busy with numerous engagements as well as gardening
but Friday was one of Grandma's special days
We went to our daughter Jane's and took Oliver out of nursery for the day
With so many Grandmothers doting over their Grandchildren on their blogs
I thought I would join in
This is 18 month old Oliver learning to play cricket
My son Peter is a great cricket fan, both playing in a team and
watching England play around the world when possible
He is a good player and at the age of 15 was offered a sponsored course at
our county cricket ground
So it was inevitable that he would buy a minature cricket bat for his nephew
These bats are bought in order to have famous cricketers sign them
Here Jane is showing him how to hold it (don't let Peter see!!).JPG)
He's excited

He's enjoying it but he will have to learn not to sit down.JPG)
This was his latest artistic endeavour from nursery.jpg)
And this is Peter

You have a very good looking family...and even better, I can tell they are lots of fun to be with!
You have an adorable grandson. Glad we got to see more of him.
I am way behind on your blog, on everyone’s really. The last few weeks have been busy, and I haven't even stepped into the garden yet. But it is time to start pruning, I can't wait. I love spring cleaning in the garden. (Hate it the house). But alas I am heading out of town tomorrow, so next week will be the garden. I will get caught up here in a bit though. I was thinking of you today Barbara, when I went for a walk with my camera. I haven’t forgotten. I will be posting it sometime at the end of the week.
Two handsome young men! What blessings!
Both your son and your grandson are so handsome! Oliver is "almost" as cute as Nathan!
I believe Kelly, and Sara, said what I was going to say. Two very handsome men in your family and the fun and love is so obvious. What a great thing to take the day and be with, Oliver.
Hi,
This is my first "visit" to your spot and I loved it and all that you had to say....you have a very GREAT testimony! Great garden photos and family photos are so nice as well....your family seems just wonderful.
I will come back and check in and see what new things are going on.
LOVED your haircut! The short hair is very becoming.....
Be BLESSED!

Omigosh! I wrote about my grandson this morning, but I had no idea that you'd written about Oliver. I can see that you had a far more successful time than I had! Oliver is so darling...just the sweetest face!
Oh my goodness Barbara, your Oliver is adorable! What a lovely looking family you have.
Barbara,
I'm so glad you had the day with Oliver...he's a cutie pie....grandchildren are such a blessing...
You have a handsome son....I believe he favors Alan.....Betty
What a cutie and what a joy grandparenting is. One of my favorites!!! Glad to hear the package made it :o)

I don't know... a sitting down cricket sounds quite relaxing! LOL
Oh, Barbara! Thank you for sharing the delight on Oliver's face as he batted around with his cricket bat. I am not too familiar with the game, but it looks like your grandson may be following in your son's footsteps with this game! Missed reading you as I've been away! It is fun catching up!
Oliver is absolutely adorable, and I must say, your son is quite handsome, too!
Oliver is a doll. He does have a little angels face.
Oliver looks so happy. I bet he will be a great cricket player.
