Had Charlie and Holly over this weekend and we went to a daredevil stunt show on Saturday night with them, it was freezing and the wind chill must have made the temperature about 10 degrees, but they enjoyed it, especially Charlie, who was wide eyed at the whole thing. Unfortunately idiot granddad changed the lens on his camera before going and instead of the telephoto lens just had a normal one so the photo's weren't great, so won't be posting on that , but here is a taster
Charlie Holly
Then today, after we returned from the park Charlie told me about a story he had written on his ipod, in the car on his way to visit his other grandparents. He has still to finish it but I thought a nice wee taster from a budding author, well as an aside Holly says she wants to be an author and Charlie says ne wants to be an illustrator, but I thgink, and told him so, after reading this, that he could be an author and an illustator too.. but then I am biased ........
I just sent this over from his ipod and reproduce it here as written, and he tells me he is writing more
