May and James have a Great Gran of 94. May always wants to make something colourful for her house. Great Gran isn't fond of colours she prefers the greys and off whites.
But my daughter doesn't give up, shes determined to bring some colour into that house. Every time she knows there's a visit planned ,shes away to her craft box.
This is the latest ,a vase of flowers, she knows Great Gran likes flowers, what she doesn't relise is all her hard work gets put away in boxes after we leave. I'm just dreading the day May decides thats it and wants to paint the walls Pink.
I keep telling her the old lady likes grey, May's reply why have grey when you can have pink, purple, silver or gold. It all makes sense at age 7, at 94 not so much.

A Day out for my hubby and son today, both World War 1 enthusiasts so a Military and Family History Day was ideal. The David Livingstone Centre in Blantyre put on a good show,there was Military Land Rover Vehicles , Displays, Advice and Help Desks. James was well chuffed to be given a World War 1 button from a Military Research Group.
I can see the Summer holiday arguments starting already one kid wanting swimming pool trips, the other War Museums, my quiet days in dont stand a chance.
James's New Flames of War Army
James's dad has been busy painting an army for him.My hubby came up with a good idea to help with James's vision impairment. Each platoon has a different colour painted round the edge.It makes it clearer for James,who can spot them easily on the table and sort out his moves quickly.
