Down by the river.

This afternoon I took the three grandchildren into the neighbouring communal riverside gardens ( photo taken with back to the river) . They love playing in this area as they can play hide and seek behind trees and lots of bamboo clumps plus jump over the shallow water. This artificial area was created as part of the garden when there was a big house there…..the new houses were built in the 198O’s and the big house had gone long before but there is a dilapidated boat house still there.

Went swimming this morning and met a friend for coffee after. She is suffering with health problems including blurred eye sight and is not driving at the moment so I aim to take her out somewhere next week.

The house has been noisy this afternoon as the three cousins enjoy time with each other. They ate lots at tea… went off for a bath and then they will be allowed to watch the first half of the women’s football match.
