I have seen four out of my five grandchildren today.

Matt was coming up to Manchester from Cambridge to pick up Ella from Uni.We met in a pub car park where the M6 and M 56 cross.On the way to meet them we called at Sarah's ,outside, to pick up her presents for Matt etc.Matt also had Jude,his wife, with him and Angus(14) our youngest grandson.We havn't seen him for a year.He is now almost as tall as me and his voice has broken.We stood outside under a covered area all masked up and socially distanced but it was so cold and pouring down.However,it was lovely to see them.We should have been at their house for Xmas but common sense it prevailing,We swapped presents and then called at Sarahs on the way back.We were so cold she insisted we had a hot drink in the conservatory with the doors open and metres apart.It was so good to see our two granddaughters.Such a laugh and such a boost for us in these dreadful times.I have no idea when we will next see them.So frustrating not being able to hug and all wearing masks. Roll on 2021 and us getting the vaccination .

  2. I don't think we'd have ever believed anyone if they'd told us how 2020 would pan out at the beginning of the year. I'm glad you got to see your grandchildren, it's a real boost just being able to see our loved ones at the moment.

  3. Seeing grandchildren and families is all we need, this virus is so cruel.

  5. Such a strange strange year. Our son came back from uni over a week ago now, but had to have a covid test to prove he was negative before he could travel. Very sensible of course but how sad we have to have to take a test to come home. roll on the vaccinations and a easier way of living again. so glad you saw all bar one of the grand children
