Boys, beach huts and saying good bye x

Sadly My husbands grandad passed away a couple of weeks ago. His funeral and thanksgiving service were last week, so we packed our bags, filled the car, phoned nursery to get bobby a week off and travelled down south for 5 days. We tried to treat it as a little holiday, here are some pics..

We stayed in a cute apartment which had the most beautiful gardens,

Perfect for the kids to play in, Trees to climb..

 

Cricket to play..

 

And best of all very close to the beach..

 The beach huts provided lots of entertainment..

 Boo!

 Great grandparents x

Typical British weather!

 The sea!!

 Love this photo, He wrote his name with a stick. I know its a bit sad but this makes me very proud!!

 

One of the bestest best things was  having a baysitter so i could have a cheeky date night with my man!

  

Little drink down at Torquay harbor. It was lush.

 Saying good bye,


A month ago we went to visit Grandad Chapple in hospital, He was his lovely chatty self. I think however he sensed it was time to say good bye. We both left the ward in tears. He told Pete how proud he was of him and how much of a great artist he was. He loved seeing our boys. He was such a good man. And his legacy lives on in his grandson and his great grandsons. I for one am proud to have his name.

This is his house which he designed (he was an architect) and built. We went on Thursday after his thanksgiving service. It was lovely to show our kids the house where Pete had spent much of his childhood.
