This week's smiles....week 335

Another week and I've had lots to smile about so I will share a few pics with you....and hope you will all leave me a little message to say you've called by and will hopefully then share your own smiles with us.



Little Theo has been on holiday this week with his Mummy, Daddy, Uncle and the other set of Grandparents so they have sent us many photos to share what a lovely time they've been having together.



While the cat's away.....as the saying goes :-)

While Theo was away we popped round to their house to fit the little curtains I made for his new play house and as you can see Grandad had to climb inside to fit them....it was a bit of a squeeze but I'm pleased to say he managed to get back out :-)



We had a few days away at the Welsh coast at the weekend in our Motor home.  Sadly Michelle, Brent and the twins, who were supposed to join us but on Saturday they tried and failed to get their tent up in the strong winds and ended up breaking one of their tent poles and going back home.  The weather was awful and I was so glad they weren't in their tent on Sunday night because in the middle of the night it was blowing a gale and we were woke by a very heavy rain storm.....I really wouldn't have wanted to be in a tent in that!

The middle photo shows how the sea was whipped up by the wind....and if you zoom in you will see in the bottom right photo that Biscuit bear, Milly and I  stayed warm in the motor home while my darling hubby took the photo.  :-)

The top two photos were taken on Monday at Aberdovey and it was a much calmer day and we actually saw some sunshine. :-)









The twins very proudly picked the peas they had grown from seed,  podded them themselves and added them to their pasta tea.....yum yum.


And last but by no means least here's the latest photos of our little footy star.  Steve's been going to football training each week during his school holidays and really loving it.....he was chosen to go for a full day's experience at Shrewsbury Town FC where he went on a tour of the ground/changing facilities, met the players and also played on the pitch at half time during the game.  His big sisters, and Mum and Dad proudly went along to watch him play.  

His trainers have requested that he also went to special training sessions for goalkeeping in Ludlow because they say he has real ability and skill for it.

He was given a skills award during his last session and they have now passed his details to the development team at Shrewsbury so watch this space....I'm so proud of him and love just how excited he is about it all.





That's all my smiles for this week.  I really hope you are all fit and well and have lot of your own smiles to share with us below.
Hugs,
Annie x

WOW, there's definitely a LOT of smiles this week. All the grandees were represented and so fun to see them enjoying the things that make them happy. This was a smile a minute post, this week, Annie, and I was grinning when I read about all their antics, except for the broken tent pole, of course.

Such a shame that Michelle and family couldn't camp - but probably for the best, given what ensued. Great pics though of everyone having fun, especially the curtain fitting.....!!

Great summer holiday photos with happy children. I loved that they were able to pick their peas and put them in the pasta dish.
Sad to hear that the weather prevented your family to join you in Wales. And a broken tent pole for their efforts. That is a bummer. Now they have to go through a the hassle of trying to get a replacement.
The Wendy house is gorgeous and of course the photo of hubby (nearly) stuck in it is really funny too.
Enjoy your weekend,
I hope the weather is better,
Hugs,
Lisca

Hi Annie, just back from the gym. Sounds like you and the family have had another busy week. Love the little play house, it's so cute. Shame about your trip at the coast but that's how the weather's been, you just don't know what to expect so fingers crossed for the Bank Holiday. Have a lovely weekend. Hugs, Angela xXx

Lots to smile about this week although Grandad wins the prize for squeezing into the pirate ship!

A lovely happy post Annie. Well done to the footballer. I shall tell my two great-grandsons who are equally tied up with 'the game' I am sure they will be impressed.
What fun to eat peas you have grown yourself. A great way to encourage reluctant veggie eaters, though I don't think that apples to them.
I am glad you survived your weekend away. The weather does look very bad.
(Still not getting your comments).
Love Kate x

I meant to ask about “This week’s smiles”. Is it about having pictures to make you smile?
