Not many words needed, we had sunshine, beach, two mothers, one daughter, one son, and one dad. Perfect!
Thanks to son for taking the photo of his daughter and her grandparents 🙂 This is my 800th post on WordPress! Thanks also to the wonderful community that makes blogging so enjoyable, I love and appreciate you all, I miss you when you disappear, I thrill when you reappear, you are part of my world, even if you don’t hear from me very often. I am about to go traveling for 6 weeks, so please be patient, I will use Blogsy to send posts from the iPad, but I am notoriously poor at being able to log in and comment on your posts, even if I can see them. Perhaps this trip I will get the hang of it, fingers crossed.

Just take it easy, Christine: you don’t owe any of us anything, and none of us wants to put pressure on you. Have a wonderful 6-week break, and if the iPad don’t come up to scratch, just remember that *I* said “I’m not surprised !”. [grin]
Lovely photo – just lovely.
thanks M-R, I do stress about the iPad, but maybe I will manage it this time 🙂
What a lovely photo. I love it when I ‘mistress’ technology, so I will be glad for you if you,too, tame your iPad, but, if it doesn’t work out that way, I will look forward to your return with lots of new stories and images for us.
Lovely post. Amid such a gathering you’d be well placed to answer the question I wrestle with this morning between mouthfuls of porridge: What is our purpose in life?
A beautiful image of grandparenthood. And congratulations on reaching 800. That’s a lot of pleasure you’ve spread around.
Perfect day – all and more than I had imagined for you! Bon voyage 🙂
I’ve smiled, laughed, cried and learnt from you my blogging sister, here’s to the next 800 and I’ll see you in four weeks!
wow, that is right!
What a loving photograph
Enjoy your time- see you upon your return. I always appreciate your visits and good words.

such a lovely photo Christine…don’t stress too much about blogging…we will all be here when you figure it out and return
Have a wonderful trip and Happy Mother’s Day!
Hoping I might have just caught you to say ‘happy travels’, Christine 🙂 While you’re gone I’ll probably get chance to look at some more of your far east adventures. Take care!
Lovely photo – and Happy Mother’s Day, Christine. I’ve just bought an iPad for travelling, too – and was disappointed with it’s performance for blogging. Don’t have the slightest problem with my MacBook!
You are going to have a great trip – and even better for me is that I get to meet you during it! 🙂
See you soon, my friend xx
