What a Big Day it was for us......................Our Eldest Grandson Ed

(First Born Also)
turn 5 years old ..and living in Christchurch.................

Started school on his birthday..... as they do in New Zealand
oh where have the last 5 years gone.......

.............. I whispered in his little ear when he was only hours old..............

........... that we would be with him on this First day at school ..............................
Ed was born in the UK......................

so we are very lucky..................... That mum and dad decided to move to NZ
I look at him and think my goodness ..............

you are growing up so quickly............................

and Grannie is aging so Quick

also.............

..................but what little delights they are...

We didn't see any rain.....not hot & gentle breeze...............
