What Nannies are Good For..

Its a great pumpkin much better than my first attempt by miles and a lovely pressie too.

That's a brilliant first-time pumpkin - better that I could do!! ... and to get a pressie at the end ...

You did a lot better with the pumpkin than I would have done.

Your Grandson sounds like a budding film director.

Glad you had fun and that you got a nice present as payment for your help in his production.

Aw bless his wee socks :)

Lovely story Lincs. Lovely thought to give you the prezzie too.

Watch out Speilberg your job is in jepardy!! Lovely pumkin Nannie, good job done.

Great blog. Made me chuckle. Isn't it wonderful to have grandchildren who enjoy spending time with their nanas. Sadly, all my grandchildren live in another country which involves spending a lot of money to even get to see them & their parents. I keep telling my youngest son of 29 that it is high time he settled down with his girlfriend & they gave me a grandchild that I can see regularly .... but even they live a 3 hour drive away. Awesome job on the pumpkin! And how thoughtful to reward your efforts.

Well done Nanny! It's a great first ever pumpkin carving. I wish I lived closer to all my grandchildren, but I have to be content with just seeing them a couple of times during the year. Sounds like your little one might become a famous film producer one day!

aww Nan..... how lovely for you,
my Coz has grandchildren just a bit younger than yours and in the GC of all places I found balls containing a hairy eyeball that flashes when it bounces-- Gross...:o))

I saw those too Pamg, made me giggle, thought I could tease our pup with one!
Great pumpkin and pressies!!!

Cheers for the nanas! My grandson demanded a Skype call last night so he could show me his pumpkin lantern.
In Scotland, not so long ago, we had turnip (neepie) lanterns, not pumpkins, and they were really hard work to scoop out. Bent many a spoon in the process.

Aye I remember that!!! lol Well my Dad always did it!

You're obviously very much loved :o)

In Wales we used to use sweeds lol

Excellent carving, Lincslass ...
lovely blog :o)))

Well done both of you. Easy to see where his artistic side came from. The pond area is looking lovely

You did a really good job.

Thanks all, I have to admit I did enjoy doing it, I wasn`t allowed to speak whilst doing the carving in case I ruined the filming, lol. I have always played a part in many of his projects, if mummy can`t he always says "never mind nannie will".
To be honest its nice to be wanted, they grow up so fast, plus the grandchildren are so good with all the modern tecchie stuff and often show me how to work things...

What a lovely little story, your Grandson sounds very creative, but then he takes after Nanny who did a Great job with the Pumpkin and certainly deserves the pretty Sweet Wiliam;0))

Well done a star performance indeed!

Great job, nanny! :-))

Well done Nannie,I even got my dinner on time lol

Lincslad ( hubby )

What a great idea, the seeds being the pumpkins children!
Great job with the pumpkin too. I had two 9 years cutting them themselves, couldn't watch, too many sharp knives.
They did a good job though so I needn't have worried!

Excellent job, very impressed.

Awwww.......loved this story Lincslass. What a lovely grandson and how lucky he is to have a talented Nanny like you.

sorry im late sue, great blog and pumpkin, nice pressie to, will look nice near the pond :o))

what were the two grapes for?

Grandson was making up a story and videoing as I was doing his pumpkin Fran, it was part of a very dramatic tale, lol.....He then puts them on Youtube, my hands are famous......
