Here we are, four months since my last missive and absolutely nothing to report from our camp, until 23rd June 2020!<\/p>\n
This was the day we were gifted with our first grandchild. \u00a0The most beautiful boy with coal black hair and the darkest of deep dark eyes whose name is begins with an F. \u00a0 Our perfect Chilean had the most difficult delivery but has borne the entire episode with dignity and grace as usual. \u00a0I am totally in love with the gorgeous little man. \u00a0Thing 2 is the proudest Dad there ever was and can hardly wait to teach him how to use an axe (F has a knitted axe to learn with).<\/p>\n
R was still in Greece when our little F arrived, a protracted journey of three planes and a five hour stopover in Germany. \u00a0He\u00a0managed to get here just before they stopped the two week quarantine for new arrivals and even though he tested negative for COVID he is still confined to quarters. \u00a0He’s having a tough time cuddling the \u00a0baby and smiling like he did all the hard work himself.<\/p>\n
My birth mother managed to move house on the 29th June, she is now firmly ensconced in a ‘project’ that should keep her busy for the coming year! \u00a0She’s always up for a challenge so I’m sure it will be gorgeous. \u00a0R and I will spend the remaining time at the home of the newest addition and hope to escape back to our place in the turquoise sea at the beginning of August.<\/p>\n
It hasn’t been easy, this isolation thing, some of my darlings have had the most terrible time and we haven’t been able to share our troubles or hug to make it better. \u00a0 Some relationships have strengthened and some have broken completely, change has happened to everyone.<\/p>\n
Here’s to starting again …….<\/p>\n
