Life is full of coincidences. End July 1952 I started work in the offices at Fort Dunlop. End July 2022, my first granddaughter who started work with Greene King earlier this year travelling from Digbeth area to Burton or wherever required day by day, was given her own office......in the old base stores building at Fort Dunlop.
Also heard today my second grandchild got a 2/1 at Birmingham in business management, now job hunting
 
What a couple of stunners they are Lyn, you must be so proud of them.
Make the most of every minute with them, Daisy and Sonny are now 12 and 9 where did that time go.

Our grandchildren are our motivation!

We saw our eldest grandson and wife and four children last week. We don't see them very often because they live a distance away and both work, but what a delight. The two youngest great grandchildren are 20 months old but when arriving and going they were helping each other off and on with coats and jumpers. Then we saw a video where they were washing each others hair in the bath. Another video was when they were having their nappie changed the other would blow a rasberry on their belly button. What a delight they are.
 
hi folks..was baby sitting evie earlier and she nodded off on the sofa and their latest edition to the family ( 9 week old miniature poodle snowy) was asleep at the other end so i went into the kitchen to tidy up a bit..when i came back in snowy had moved from his end and cuddled up with evie:):)

It's one of our great grandchildren's fifth birthday today and it reminds me of mine in 1936 when my parents bought me a scooter with "wire spoked wheels". How posh I felt as everyone else had them with tin plate wheels. They had it from [I think] Halfords on High Street Erdington. If I remember right it was a few doors from the Undertakers [whatever their name was] opposite the Church
