School Half-term holiday already for Oliver
and Grandma gets to take care of him for a day
Here he is with the white chocolate and caramel chip cookies that Grandma helped him to make - ready for the oven.
When I was getting everything out he said, "Call me when you need me - no don't do that, call me when you are ready to weigh the chocolate chips,Grandma"
We had a simple but fun day
Having been to the adventure play ground in the park our next call was to the
Vintage Emporium
This is a massive place and only a few photos here but Oliver just loved running around the passages and asking about everything.
The kind of place that would take a day to look at everything and without a 4 year old
The tea room was very in keeping with the atmosphere
Then once back at the house Rebekah was home and saying cheese when she saw my camera!
And here she is having zipped a toy into my camera case
I remember what fun I used to have with mine when they were that age!
ReplyDeleteWhat an eventful day! This is such a wonderful age when anything you do with them is an adventure! And they even pose for pictures! How adorable. You are blessed with very lovely grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteAre there many such antique/vintage stores there? What incredible finds you must come across; rich in history too!
They are adorable! Children today are always ready for the camera or nearly. The Emporium looks something like our flea market. I'm surprised that Oliver enjoyed it so, but pleasantly surprised.
ReplyDeleteYou did have a wonderful day there! It is always fun to spend time with the grand babes! I love that emporium. I could spend hours just looking around in a place like that.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are just wonderful...love each and every one. :) Thanks for taking the time to share!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys had a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteOliver is a handsome boy! I loved seeing him in his striped apron. My mother used to bring back those aprons from London, Marks & Spencer I think, and have our names enbroidered on in red!
ReplyDeleteI have been enjoying your blog from the other side of the big pond. I reside in a coastal Massachusetts community.

Memories of times like this with their Grandma...are still special to my kids.She loved to poke around shops like this... and to this day my youngest son loves it still. You English always seem to have a place to have tea. What a nice custom.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your day with us. Balisha
Can't wait for my grandaughter to be that age. The vintage room looks like a wonderful 'Aladdin's Cave.'
ReplyDeleteWhat memories they will have as they grow up. That store Lools like it would take a week to see. Is the cafe in the store? What a fun place to visit. Be well and Happy.

Your lovely and interesting blog reminds me of my trip to England every time I read it! Love the flower pics on the sidebar as well!
ReplyDeleteIt's moments like these that I'm looking forward to as Adria grows. And I'm hopeful that other grandchildren will come along, too. I read blogs such as yours and find such great examples of wonderful grandmothers...thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOliver certainly is a handsome lad.
ReplyDeleteSounds like he enjoys being with Grandma and making cookies! :-)
The Vintage Emporium looks like my kind of place. Yes, I could spend the day there, just looking. :-)
The grands are growing and are gorgeous. It looks like you had a very special day with Oliver. I love those times with my Eden. We are long over due a baking day!
ReplyDeleteWow, what an interesting looking shop. And cute grandkids too!

What a lovely day with the grandchildren!
ReplyDeleteCooking is always a winning activity!
Looking back i remember both my grandmothers with enormous affection.
And now we have Henry who we will see on Saturday.
Your grandkids are adorable.. I have 2 granddaughters and they are the light of my life! And would love to that store- looks like they've got lots of cool stuff!
ReplyDeleteGrandma is very nice to teach Oliver how to bake chocolate and caramel chip cookies :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious time it is to have grandchildren to stay. Oliver and Rebekah obviously enjoyed their day with you too.
ReplyDeleteBarbara, I was fascinated with the pictures of the Vintage Emporium.... how I’d love a visit there and spend time rummaging through all that interesting clutter. Love the way the old church pews have been used in the tea room. Wonderful pictures.
Have a blessed weekend - Marion
what fun with Oliver and what fun at the Emporium! Cute Rebekah.
