Children certainly bring Joy dear Jane, as they bring their own innocent simplicity into our world. Not yet tarred with labels or indoctrinated thoughts. They are to be nurtured and guided and above all cherished.

So many happy memories and joyous times in playtime, and I am delighted their choice in your paint was spot on...

Only this week clearing out a wardrobe that was used for my Granddaughters sleep ins when she was very young, I found Barbie dolls and Ken dolls. with all the dresses I had made and... I took a photo of them to ask did she want to keep any now she is 14... She said "No... throw them away Grandma.".. I did so, in a charity bag, but not without regret, at all those happy play times we had together.. Memories cherished...

Sending much love your way dear Jane to both you and Tim.. 💖

You are so right, dearest Sue about nurturing, guiding and cherishing our little ones. My heart tore at your discovery and your granddaughters request. They are memories to be cherished. I recall I was having a serious de-clutter after my Dad had passed away and I found some patterns and old knitting needles from my Great Granny. My eyes filled with tears as I sat, undecided, with them in my hands. I clearly heard my Great Granny’s voice, ‘I am not in things, my love.’ I gifted them on. Much love to you and your two B’s, my lovely. Xxxx 🩷🌟🩷

Hanging around with little ones is so refreshing. Since I am far from mine, I borrow some.

This is a lovely recap of the time spent with little ones. What a great idea to get them ready for bed and then travel. I'm glad they brought you and Tim Joy.
