Grumpy Gramps?
« on: October 02, 2021, 09:16:55 PM »
Very pleased to announce that we've officially joined the ranks of grandparents.

After a very rough and tough start for us all last year, my eldest son and his wife have a daughter, born Friday just after noon. All doing well, she has her mother's looks and her father's length.

We know that her big brother will be looking down on her and keeping her safe.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

You know that you have one that you can fill with sweets and red cordial and then give back now? In a couple of years, anyway.

Grandchildren are your revenge for all the times your kids made you tear your hair out. :rofl :rofl
