Going to be a tough one this, especially given the travel restrictions with Covid.

Reminded me of when my sister emigrated to Canada in 1975. The only contact was by expensive and crackly phone calls or air mail letters that took a week to arrive.

When you retire, you switch bosses - from the one that hired you, to the one that married you.

Re: How many children
Lovely news and many congrats to you, no one can explain the feeling you get from being a Grandparent for the first time until it happens.
Re: How many children
BB, brilliant news that. Grandkids are the best invention ever. Hope its not too long before you get a cuddle.

Re: How many children
Thanks guys, we’ve been on cloud nine all day .
Sadly we won’t see the little fella for a number of years, but we balance that with the great life they have over there and the beautiful new home they have just moved into complete with swimming pool etc. It’s enough for us to see him over zoom or whatever for now, obviously not the same but as I say the trade off is worth it.
Thanks again all
