Happy 18th Esther

Esther turned 18 months old today.

We went shopping with Nanny and Alice this morning. Mum was still very positive whilst shopping but had a little understandable blip when we got back. It wasn't long before we got a call from her brother in Cornwall to tell us more heartbreaking news. Auntie Pauline died this morning after a heart attack on Wednesday. She suffered a stroke 12 years ago and despite never being the same she was still very positive and happy go luckily despite her mobility being very limited. Uncle Keith is devastated. They were one of those couples that you could see still loved each other like they had just met however many decades on (6 plus I think!).

We are now in Bakewell for the weekend with Grandpa and Janet for Grandpa's belated 75th birthday treat. I'm keeping my chin up, determined to enjoy my weekend.
