Welcome. . . new life!

Born 1st June 2010. . . .

Exciting news for the family,

one of my niece's gave birth to a girl,

they've named Eliana,

weighing 6lbs 13oz.

Can't wait to see her properly,

but as they live closer to London,

a few hours away, it won't be just yet,

but then,

 I'm sure they will be glad to re-adjust as a family,

 before descending upon them for a visit!

Mothering Sunday

Last Sunday, Mothering Sunday in the UK,

 my daughter & her boyfriend,

 decided to take both their respective Mother's,

 to see the latest Walt Disney film of 'Alice in Wonderland'.

I was a bit dubious, wondering whether I would actually enjoy the film,

but although I had heard mixed reviews, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The characters portrayed were unique.

The Mad Hatter was a very suitable role for Johnny Depp.

The combination of animation & human acting was a brilliant blend of filming.

And, this film had to be watched in 3D!

Lucy & I were at the ready with the glasses provided. . . .

Shop Till You Drop!!!

Managed to spend an enjoyable day with my daughter today,

 visiting the shopping mall at Cribbs Causeway, Bristol.

This is about a 45 minute drive away travelling by the motorway.

The shopping complex is situated over two floors,

which was very festive with an abundance of huge

Christmas decorations with its wealth of lights was stunning.

Very festive.

Enjoyed some good retail therapy,

enabling us to nearly buy all the gifts for our family & friends.
