Another trip to Guernsey for a few days to see Grandson Edward. The early part of the first day we had more or less to ourselves and after a walk along Cobo beach we went into St Peter Port for lunch then a walk round Candie Gardens.
We stayed with Anna's father Martyn, whose house is surrounded by a wonderful display of flowering plants.
Later in the afternoon we all had a trip to the beach where some went for a swim in the sea, others a paddle and some of us just stayed dry and enjoyed the sunshine.
On the Friday we spent some time in the garden where Edward likes to help his daddy with his jobs, especially watering the plants.
There's a bit of a slope on the paved area in the garden at his house and Edward's got a couple of cars he sits in and pushes backwards with his feet to the top of the slope then runs them down to the bottom again.
He likes kicking his ball around, both in the garden and in the house and already has quite a powerful, and accurate kick favouring his left foot. Perhaps one day he'll play for the Green Lions of Guernsey FC!
After watching me do it several times Edward decided that it was extremely funny when I changed my distance glasses for my reading glasses when I wanted to read something.
Peter Rabbit made an appearance at a Floral Guernsey Summer Party at Le Friquet Garden Centre on the Saturday, but Edward looked a little bit apprehensive about meeting him.
On the Sunday before we flew home we all went to the Food Seafront Sunday along the pedestrianised seafront in St Peter Port where on a gloriously warm and sunny day we had lunch at some tables set up outside the Ship & Crown.
Here's Edward with his Grandpa, Auntie Louise and Cousin Barnabas
