The gloom of lockdown was lifted today by the unfamiliar glow of snow in Sandhurst. By 11.00 a.m., much of Sandhurst was blanketed in a thick layer of snow.
Jamie, my grandson, is seven and growing up fast. He's changing in a thousand different ways each day and each week and being in lockdown (again) it's hard to capture all the changes. Despite the virus in the last year we've had some grand adventures and I hope we will have many, many more, especially our holidays abroad together which were cancelled this year.
Seven. I can't believe the tiny baby you were is now a seven year old boy. You've grown tall, obviously you take after your Daddy and not me, you've grown strong and you're growing into a funny, charming, chatty boy. You're working hard at home schooling (this year's term at school was the shortest ever - one day!) and I can't ask for anything more than for you to try hard and listen to your teachers, via the internet, and your Mummy.
We've got so many hopes and dreams for you this year. Work hard and carry on reading, especially Harry Potter, and learn to love books as I do.
Jamie requested a lemon drizzle Harry Potter cake for his birthday. Well done Mummy. Wish I could enjoy a slice.
We've done such fun things while you were six.
