It was a hot Sunday when we went off to see Peppa Pig and George. We drove to the railway station with a very excited Granddaughter Bella and her brother Kieran. The old steam train came. They were very excited. Off we went.

It was very hot on the train journey. We got off and headed for a drink. Bella and Kieran were jumping up and down by now. We had a short walk to the tent and as we went in we could see George. Very soon Peppa came along. They both walked round greeting the children.

Bella and Kieran waited for them to come round to where they were and they loved meeting them.

My Grandchildren came to visit for the afternoon. The older two get fed-up quickly. They are 5 & 3 years old. Since they like crafting I often think of ideas for things for them to do. Today I was clean out.

I got on the CUP website and there were loads of crafting ideas for people of all ages. I decided on them making a windmill as they are easy enough. The materials included them using a stick to put it on. I was a bit bothered about that as the 3 year old is very clumsy and I could see it ending up in someones eye.

I rolled up wallpaper from the corner so the ends will be quite soft. They decorated the insides and they were very pleased with the results. I'll be back for more ideas. Thank you CUP These cards stand out in the crowd as they are a lovely shape and a bit different.

It's our twins first birthday. Lucy and Liam was one on the 20th April. We had a family get together to celebrate. It was quite overwhelming for them but they quickly played with their new toys.

Both were teething on the day that made them a little unhappy although we medicated them for it. To finish the day off they had a bath. They love playing in the bath together and they love to splash about.

A few weeks ago I went for a hearing test. I was told I needed hearing aids. I felt quite up-set. Till I was well into my 40?s I had a fantastic sense of hearing. I could hear a pin drop in another room. Now I need help to hear.

A few weeks later I was fitted with my hearing aids. I was totally amazed at how much of a difference they made. I love them. At first they irritated my ears. It was better if I put some moisturiser in. I soon got used to wearing them. They are very small and light.

If you are struggling with your hearing, do go and get help as it makes a big difference.

Our twins Liam and Lucy are now 9 months old. I am amazed at how fast they are coming along. Both are crawling and pulling themselves up on anything they can find. They play very nicely together and are very happy babies, full of smiles and laughter.

They are such a pleasure to have around. I looked after them this weekend and they had such a lot of fun in wrecking the living room. Never mind, it's easily tided up again. They are beautiful. Decided to promote an Easter design and one I really like, Plane wrap around
