Back to school and back to 'normal' routine. Here are recent photos of the grandchildren.
Ishie is now in her first year of secondary school (11.75 years old). Next to her is Ellie, 3.5 years old, front left is Harriet now is Primary 1 (5 years old) and lastly Alastair (10 years old) is in Primary 7, his last year of Primary School.
Ishie and Harriet baking. I am cultivating their skills and have recently observed a new phenomenon which turns out to be a very, very good incentive ... taking a photo on their mobile phone in order to show their friends.
Alastair likes to eat; he also takes a (rather second=hand!) interest in baking and/or meal preparation.
What do I mean? Rather than ask to do it (unlike the girls) he gives me the recipe ... which I produce in the fullness of time. I don't mind but I must remember to get him in the kitchen, with an apron on, doing it himself.
This is his recipe for Flapjacks. Yes, it is good but I mustn't let this Work Allocation Exercise become a habit! (And like Uncle Alastair at the same age, he makes himself scarce whenever a tea-towel appears in the post-dinner washing-up.)
Ellie - absolutely full of beans!
Harriet in the driver's seat of a fire engine.
Everyone with Iain in the cockpit of Seol-na-Mara in July, Rothesay.
