Given how easy it is now (with a new iPhone and a quick internet connection!) for me to send pictures, messages and even have random phone calls with mum and dad in the middle of the day (including several times when Jake requested to call them to show them what he was playing with), I cant' help but think of times when I could have Skyped Gran just for fun, as whilst she'd never had made it out here to see our new life unfold, we could have given her such a good feel for it. However, I will put pictures up here that make me think of Gran, or that she would have enjoyed. Here's 4 for starters:
 |
| The bronze fireguard made it safely, though we had to ship it rather than risk it bending in a canvas bag |
 |
| We drove past a house in the middle of nowhere that had a pristine croquet lawn, complete with a sunhouse for spectators. We may have to make friends with the owners/buy the house! |
 |
| The squirrels are dedicated critters out here. Look at the acrobatics of this one trying to get into Jake's birdhouse! You could have a lot of fun with a water pistol each morning... |
 |
One generation removed, but Sophie gets the idea of Skype quite nicely and I'm sure Gran would have been offered e-biscuits too!
More to come I'm sure over the weeks and months, but safe to say the spirit of Gran has come with us to New Hampshire!
