Margot and Phoebe yesterday afternoon. Sitting on the step in our kitchen drinking mugs of hot chocolate before their Sunday roast. Margot has learnt to stick her hand out like a traffic policeman as she says, "Stop it Grandpa!" Meanwhile Phoebe's ability to catch footballs has improved tremendously and she is really starting to get the hang of reading now. You should have seen her little face light up when I said, "Wow! That's amazing Phoebe. I am so proud of you!"
Sorry the picture is slightly blurry. It was a quick snapshot capturing that happy sisterly moment in the early autumn of 2025.
Meantime, I caught another train today - off on another photo walk. I will say more about that in tomorrow's blogpost. Nowadays, at Sheffield railway station, travellers are greeted by a massive image of a bottle of "Henderson's Relish" which has been produced in this city since 1885. Though perhaps similar to Worcestershire sauce, it contains no anchovies and is therefore suitable for vegans and vegetarians. I struggled to get the full picture of the bottle...
The Henderson's bottle look a little Worcestershire Sauce bottle, too!
ReplyDeleteI guess so.
DeleteMargot and Phoebe are so darn cute!
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteI would think a better poster might be of some of that grog you down in the pubs!
ReplyDeleteWe do not need to encourage drunkenness Bruce!
DeleteMargot has some curly hair. Kids catch on quickly if someone is paying attention to them like a grandpa.
ReplyDeleteI am please to say that they really love their old Grandpa. Reap what ye sow!
DeleteSomething about that photo of Margot reminds me of Shirley.
ReplyDeleteInteresting .
DeleteA wonderful picture of Phoebe and Margot, with their happy, trusting faces.
ReplyDeleteHot chocolate BEFORE the Sunday roast? I'd have thought that's something for afters.
I felt the same about that hot chocolate because it was not my idea just half an hour before the Sunday dinner I was slaving over.
DeleteJust what every attractive and historic railway station needs, a picture of a sauce bottle.
ReplyDelete😄😄😄
DeleteYou and JayCee are both quite saucy.
DeleteI have not heard of Henderson's relish -- I'll have to try it sometime. Worcestershire sauce has anchovies in it?!
ReplyDeleteYes it does I am afraid. Those poor little fishes!
DeleteThe sisters photo is beautiful. Phoebe will soon be showing Margot how to read.
ReplyDeleteI guess there are advantages in having sisters. I never had one myself - just brothers.
DeleteIt is what my sister did for me, River - I'm 14 months younger than her, and when she started school, she taught me to read, and I haven't stopped reading since.
DeletePretty girls sitting on the step. Who is upsetting their appetite with milky chocolate before the meal?
ReplyDeleteThat would be Old Grandma!
DeleteLovely photo of the girls - how they have grown!
ReplyDeleteAnd we have grown too Carol... older!
DeleteLiverpool has a bit picture of Julia Roberts.
ReplyDeleteI googled it but could not find it. You mean at Lime Street?
DeleteHave a great walk!
ReplyDeleteWell my friend... I did!
DeleteI didn't know that Worcestershire sauce had anchovies in it. That photo of your granddaughters is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThink of the little fishes when next you shake Worcestershire sauce over your American cheeseburger!
DeleteGreat picture!
ReplyDeleteThank you Deb.
DeleteNice smiles on the sweet sisters! My sister and I took a walk together yesterday. I'm the big sister and she is younger and we still enjoy each others company and can laugh and laugh together. I hope Phoebe and Margot will always be close.
ReplyDeleteMe too. Many siblings drift apart. I am glad you still enjoy such closeness with your sister Ellen.
DeleteSuch little beauties.
ReplyDeleteWe think so too.
DeleteWorcestershire Sauce it isn't. Its more, its an institution.
ReplyDeleteWe don't talk about Worcestershire in Yorkshire - unless we are beating them at cricket.
DeleteWere "Stop it Grandpa!" Margot's first words? (sorry, couldn't resist...) Cute photo of the two of them! :)
ReplyDelete"Stop It Grandpa!" could be a children's story book - all about a mischievous Grandpa and his tricks.
DeleteLovely pictures of the girls, but that step is an accident waiting to happen methinks.
ReplyDeleteWell spotted Addy and you are right. The lower part used to be our garage floor. When we had the garage turned into extra living accommodation, we could not afford to have the garage roof taken off and replaced with a higher roof which would have been essential to lift the floor to the existing level of the old kitchen. Surprisingly, Shirley and I have never once tripped on that step which is a bit of a miracle.
DeleteHope you had a good walk.
ReplyDeleteThose girls are so cute!
