Earlier there had been an Easter egg hunt for the little ones and then we all went off to a Sheffield museum that I had not visited in many years - The Emergency Services Museum at West Bar.
Greatly improved and still run by volunteers, it was a perfect excursion for all of us and we finished up in the museum's little cafe enjoying a light lunch. We had seen police cars, ambulances, fire engines and even a redundant lifeboat called "City of Sheffield". We all enjoyed the visit. As you might imagine, I will be coming back to this museum in a future post.
On the way there, the roads had been blocked off near Sheffield Children's Hospital as 750 motorcyclists arrived at Weston Park on what has become an annual charity parade - raising funds for that wonderful hospital's amazing work. Many of the bikers were in fancy dress.
It's always a pleasure to see photos of your sweet grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteIt's also always a pleasure when they are asleep in bed.
DeleteAdorable photos -- that first one in particular should be an arty award winner! And I must say there were some pretty gnarly looking biker bunnies hanging about that charity event.
ReplyDeleteI take a lot of pictures and I would put that one at the top on my "special" pile. I am very happy with that one.
DeleteI like the little cutie eating a chocolate Easter egg and those sunglasses make somebody look charming.
ReplyDeleteWhy not buy yourself some similar sunglasses Red?
DeleteLooks like a fun day, I like the motorbike parade. Is "The Lamb of God" any different from a regular lamb?
ReplyDeleteYes it is. It is blessed by The Lord
DeleteIt sounds like a thoroughly happy time for everyone.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to reading more about the museum.
Oh dear. I hope I don't let you down.
DeleteLovely set of photographs. You are indeed blessed.
ReplyDeleteAnd so are you after the tragedy you endured all those years ago.
DeleteNo problems with Storm Dave around your parts over Easter? It's been constantly rattling my windows since yesterday, and is said to have come over from England to continue causing problems here...
ReplyDeleteDon't blame England Monica! Blame The Lord who maketh all things - including Storm Dave.
DeleteNot blaming England, just wondering if the storm was as bad in Yorkshire...
DeleteLooks like a great fun day and with a fabulous meal, too!
ReplyDeleteAnd I didn't have to make it!
DeleteLooks like a great day out, and a photo of Mrs. P with the grandkids?
ReplyDeleteYes. That is indeed the fortunate wife.
DeleteThese really are stunning photos.
ReplyDeleteI love that you know how fortunate you are in your family. I am aware of that with my family too. We are the lucky ones.
Not something to take for granted. We need to "bless our hearts".
DeleteLooks like a lovely day with family!
ReplyDeleteYes. A splendid day Ellen. It is a shame that not all days can be like that one.
DeleteWhat a perfect day with the family
ReplyDeleteYes. A day to remember in future days. When they were so young, so happy and so innocent.
DeleteLooks like a very fun day! Alas, I cannot come up with my own joke to entertain you, as you did on my post -- I'm a terrible joke teller.
ReplyDeleteYou have the most beautiful grandchildren - the girls are full of mischief and joy. Zachary is such a serious little chap - I wonder how much the break-up has affected him? Lovely to see a photo of Shirley and the look on Margot's face is priceless!
