Pappa's London visit Oct 2022

 

Finally the kids got to see their granddad- it was his first visit since before lockdown.

Apart from the obvious pubs and restaurants visits, dad also got to see Sean working at the till in the Swedish shop around the corner. I was very proud.
And 4 nights was simply not enough.  

It struck me whilst spending quality time with him after all this time that I struggle watching him getting older and it's an inescapable challenge but thankfully he is fit and healthy -And boy did we have nice time. Love my pappa so much!

A very proud Sean (and Mamma!) outside the Swedish shop after his first shift working there. Now that he  is 13 and legally allowed (4 hours per day only) I got him a Saturday job to learn work ethics and earn his own money.
