I meant to post this a couple of weeks ago...
I was cuddling Sophie the other day (as you do) and talking with Kelsey who was sat on our black couch for a bit whilst Jake was playing on the floor. He was playing with his lego and went very quiet for around 10 minutes whilst we were talking. He then very proudly showed us the "bus" that he had made and it suddenly made me think of being at Bushmead and the glorious delight that Gran would have taken in that very situation. I can even hear the sound she would have made when he would have shown her the model, and that's good enough for me.
I don't know whether it's the brass fireguard from Gran's house that sits proudly in front of our mantelpiece or the fact that we were sitting in the right configuration that led me to think this. In any case, long may Gran's memory take delight in her great-grandchildren!
And of course, not only would Gran have liked that (I love your phrase about 'Gran's memory taking delight in her great-grandchildren'), but she would also have been delighted to see Baby Sophie growing and being cuddled by her dad.
