News from the Colonies


Jake and Gemma are embracing all things American and have hired a big people carrier, loaded three grandchildren and Granny into the back and embarked on a road trip.  600 miles over two days to Buffalo which is close to Niagara Falls,  three days getting wet and then 600 miles back again.   

Smiling faces in the picture, perhaps they have only just started and there only seem to be two grandchildren in the picture, perhaps Florence has given up and gone home.

They are staying in a lakeside villa which looks good, if Gill enjoys herself too much she won't want to come home!

Jake showing off, I have not received any pictures of granny paddle boarding

The Genesee River, a bit smaller scale than Niagara but less crowded.

I thought you were supposed to keep small children away from poly bags, perhaps health and safety precautions are less stringent in the USA.

The gang are driving back to Virginia Beach today and then Granny has a few days to recover before a trip to Washington next weekend after which she has to fly home in time for our next holiday.
