Happy birthday Grandad

It's our Grandad's birthday today, he is 80 years old. I really can't imagine how old that really is but he does look very old. He's still in the hospital & we still can't go and see him (no non PAT dogs allowed). So it means the party that was planned can't go ahead, it was lucky they put it off before Christmas. He has been in hospital for ages now. I do hope he gets better soon. Mummy says he probably won't be coming home even if he gets better, he really needs to be in a nursing home.

Grandad has had a very fulfilling life, I love to hear his stories of being shipwrecked, destroying harbours, travelling across Africa, dining with an Emperor & the Queen. He seems to have done it all.

  1. Bless and he had a wonderful adventurous life. We hope despite the face he won't be coming home you get to spend quality time with him. Have a serene Sunday and let us all partake of some big easy today.
    Best wishes Molly

  2. Sending love and happy birthday across the seas to your grandpa- he sounds like an awesome person with a very interesting life- perhaps you should have mummy write a book or even stories about his life. I would love to hear more. hugs to all, M
