I agree. Grandkids are such a delight, even more of a delight than our own kids were! 🙂

Round here the magpies, though noisy, fly off too fast. Great photos 🙂

That pain au chocolate turned out fantastic!
I used to work in a French patisserie and that was a favourite, but having seen it made like you did it – wow, seemingly easy.
Yum, Mum/Grandma 🙂

I think my girls and I have some pain au chocolat in our future tomorrow. It looks like a great idea – and easy enough for small hands.
