Grandpa, the kids and the French deli

Michael has made it over to Southfields several times in the last month to see the kids.  A few times picking them up at nursery; other times supervising bath time and then reading them bedtime stories.  He's witnessed some very sweet exchanges.  And a magnificent all-school Sheringdale musical performance of Christmas tunes (video to follow at some point).

On reading bed time stories, a favourite is "Now We Are Six".  A. A. Milne is the author of the Winnie the Pooh series. He did Now We Are Six in 1927, and it was illustrated by E. H. Shepard- a family friend of the Wigans.  A very nice connection for the kids and the stories.

Bella and I are then the beneficiaries of his trot past the French deli on the way from the station.  Perfectly ripe cheeses, fruity tarts, and, of course, the world famous baguettes.
