Lunch in Leeds

It's a tradition that the day after Jonny's Birthday bash Grandma and Grandad treat everyone to a slap up meal in a posh pub in Leeds. Grandma loaned Lucy her note pad and PostIt notes to distract her while we wait for the meal to arrive. It works spectacularly well. Mum really understands kids. That is why she was such a well loved reception class teacher and more recently is a famous children's author. Grandad looks on approvingly, not least because recently Lucy has started referring to him as "Dad Dad". Not 100% accurate but close enough to make a few of us pretend there is something in our eye.

Of course as soon as her bowl of fresh fruit arrives for pudding, no distraction is required.

This is not a bad impersonation of Terry Thomas
