Here we are again...you know the words. Welcome and enjoy each others company. [cake] 
...
Away to watch more tennis 
What a good dog!
Mission accomplished, we spent most of the day in the garden and the dogs were FINE!
Thanks Charley I would have loved vied to have joined you but with the photographs, the open day and house hunting going on I just can't get away . I will definitely join you in Sept though.
soop that sounds like a nasty burn!! Be careful of it. I loved the picture of young Torben , what a beautiful boy .
The lemonade stand was a huge success . My DDs friends were very good and all allowed themselves to sold too , surprisingly good lemonade too. He made a total of £12 which will be put away for his car fund .
The BBQ was fun with an inpromptu water fight that the dads enjoyed especially .
MacSporran has installed a temporary barrier which he hopes may dissuade Rory from venturing beyond the entrance to the drive. I have my doubts. People passing by will imagine that we're being "precious" and are hoping to deter folk from turning in the drive. We have no worries concerning such things. I can hardly put a notice of apology. 
There will possibly not be a photographical sunset this evening. Too much cloud. I'm therefore leaving you with last night's images.
Wishing all our Granspals a pleasant evening.
NandG I love the film Up, the old man reminds me of my lovely dad and the little boy is so cute.
Charleygirl please can I have some coffee cake too, I love anything coffee flavoured and it means that I can leave the lemon drizzle for everyone else.
My dd,her partner and dgd2 have been here today, along with dgd3, and I've been left with a chocolate eclair and a cream filled choux bun! I did send them home with a large goody bag, but somehow the cakes were forgotten!! 
Thank goodness I don't like lemonade, £80 a cup is a step too far
I happened across this photo of toddler Torben. his expression is adorable.
Charleyg It's very close hereabouts. No sunshine at the moment. Rory has taken it into his head to wander across the road on a couple of occasions recently. MacSporran is terribly concerned. He's wondering what on earth he can do to deter him. We certainly cannot imprison him in the house.
Maggiemaybe It's difficult to believe that your friend had such a long wait in A&E. Although we live in a fairly remote area, if something seriously needs attention, then it one is seen within a very short time. You need to visit the walk in centre on Monday. Hands are precious.
rosesarered Should you find a deliciously moist carrot cake, save me a slice. I'm very partial to the real thing. 
Now I see that Jalima has baked just the thing.
BFG My type of film. I shall never become "all growed up" as Torben says.
You lot have put a massive on my face. I missed your company yesterday. I shall need to read through all your messages and then I shall respond....
cornergran I know one wee man who would love to tramp around Puzzle Wood. He would be in his element. It's a pity that it isn't nearer to where he lives (the heart of London). Although there is a wetland reserve that he's visited on occasions.
G&T A buggeration indeed. I guess that you'll just have to sit tight and quaff Pimms until the car is roadworthy.
kittylester My word, there's been some nasty stuff happening to your family members. As for your brother-in-law driving home having had the knee replacement injury...the mind boggles. The very thought of Lottie having her finger nail pulled out, made me shudder. Has she had the finger bandaged and has she some pain relief? A week seems an awful long time for her to wait for whatever treatment comes next.
Lona I cannot tell you how happy I am that you are happy. The stress and fretting is over and done with. Your evening sounds perfect. I also had baked beans last night. Don't ask...
dusty Torben would have been in his element had he seen the digger being transported. Diggers and trains are high on his list of special likes.
NanaandGrampy Jackson is enterprising. I wish him lots of success with new venture. He looks the part. Let us know how much he manages to raise from his lemonade sales.
DaphneB Your home...not your dog...be tough if needs be. Grace wasn't too well not so long ago. She is recuperating and needs a quiet environment in which to do so. Let us know how you cope with the business of the iPhone.
Whatever the outcome, enjoy your lunch.
I promised to make them another one
I just told tales and they are both crying.
Hope it was worth it 
Here you are rosesarered, I was up at six o'clock this morning baking a carrot cake (from scratch I'll have you know - none of those packet mixes!) complete with lemony cream cheese topping and little tiny icing carrots.
Please don't eat the sugar bunny on the top, I have promised him to the DGD .
I hope the cough is better soon, DH is hacking away too.
Suffering with burnt legs this morning - how stupid at my age. We took the DGD to the beach and I carefully put suncream on the girls, my arms, neck, face, but forgot to do my legs. Ouch.
Daphne your SIL doesn't realise that dogs only respond to one or two word commands! I think the long lead is a good idea.
Lovely photos N&G and Lona
I haven't heard of 'Up', but am being asked about the BFG at the moment
The lemonade maker at work !
Too hot here again ( moan moan.) Also have hay fever and am coughing my way to a gold medal.Have polished the entire house this morning as we were up early to eliminate dust ( it sure did need doing!) Now I need a mug of tea with honey in it.Is there any carrot cake going?
dustyangel, this particular Fallen Angel is on the mend thank you, bruises yellowing and wounds scabbing over nicely. One hand's still painful, so I think I will be having it looked at - as I can't face the thought of hours in our local A & E (a friend waited from 1pm till nearly 8pm last week 
), I'll probably pop to the walk-in centre near DGS2's house when we're minding him on Monday.
Hope everyone's enjoying the sunshine today
