I'm chuffed you dropped by :) There's something about a small kid's giggle that embeds itself in the walls of a house for years afterwards. It's better than any medicine ever invented. Except calpol of course. Thanks Annie! I’m chuffed you dropped by :)

Thanks to the proud Grandad for the heads up! My 2 little cousins are the exact same. Last summer when they were 4 and 2, they played non stop out the back (on the 5 minutes when it wasn't raining) with their bubbles giggling they pretty little heads off. Heartbreakingly cute.

I feel a bit like Nemo's dad. But that's probably because I've just finished watching it for the 467,300,435th time. Wow mammy, I remember playing foozball with that wee German kid!!! That's a dusty memory, thanks for reminding me! I suppose you do need to let these things go, Kate. I feel a bit like Nemo’s dad.

You were three and we drove a clapped out Ford Fiesta to the South of France. Not a worry. We were young and wine cost £1 a bottle! One day it started to rain. Not soft like Irish rain but ferocious and fierce. Your little German blond friend was out swinging at the park and you were quite determined to join him. He hadn't a word of English but somehow you managed to communicate. You were well covered in a raincoat, wellingtons and a hat. An hour later, you arrived back to us, sopping and covered in muck. As I bent down to undo the buttons, you threw your arms around my neck and gave me such a squeeze! It was the nicest squeeze I've ever had. That little memory stayed with me and I can still feel that squeeze! Your lovely prose brought me back to a caravan park in Biarritz.

It's hard to let them go - but if they're not released to the universe, then those wishes can't come true.

I often wondered how long this blog's life will be, will it last long enough for me not to have to print things out? Grannymar, I'm sure she made flower-petal perfume too like all the other little kids I know! Baino, Thanks petal :) Do we ever grow up? I don't think so. b3n You forgot Red Rover and Sticks! And hopscotch o' course. I haven't seen a chalked hopscotch in yeeeaaars. Daddyo, cheers, ears! It's gas, both her and her daddy always get other people giggling once they start! So does Sean actually. Whenever I giggle, people look at me strange until I realise that nobody cracked a joke. Sixty- that’s a good idea!
