Our adult grandchildren are single and getting on with their careers, but one day we might be great grands if they settle down to married life!

I still don't think about Christmas, anyway I only have one gift to buy for my little grandson, my son has married a Dutch girl and they don't celebrate Christmas, so it's not as it used to be. I think Holland is the only country which doesn't decorate (or very poorly) for Christmas ! Not even in Amsterdam.
