A weekend with Grandma Train




Clent Hill

Well, after an interesting 1st night (think 5 creatures in one sub-tropical bedroom then add the following complications: a child who wakes for a drink every hour and needs a wee every 2, another child who wedges himself under beds then tries to sit up, a panting dog, a snoring bloke, a pregnant woman with associated heartburn and pins and needles and a security light that would turn on if someone sneezed in the next town and which lights the room up like Blackpool illuminations and thus wakes all of the above creatures...), the rest of the weekend was rather wonderful.
Although she remained rather weary in the afternoons, Firstborn continued to recover rather well from her ear infection (no anti-biotics - yippee!) and both children thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Grandma Train - they truly love her to bits. The weekend was spent on trains, looking at trains, eating food and walking in lovely places.

Staying awake in the afternoon was still a struggle for a recovering Anya
