Dear “Tom”

Lots of driving

I am you other grandfather, the one you have never met. You are three years old, and although I have never met you, I love you dearly and always will. You are my flesh and blood, and always will be. We will meet one day, I am sure. I am writing this daily "blog" to you to make up for the fact that I can't speak to you right now. I hope that one day you will be able to read this.

Today Grandad was in derby to see another man about another book. Driving across the country this morning was a nightmare! Most of the main roads in our country go to and from London (lucky you, living in London) and that means the ones in the North of England go from north to south. So if you want to tarvel from east to west, or from wset to east as I did today, you have to use musch smaller raods and go through lots of little towns. This is all very nice, as I like to see these little towns (and I know most of them) but it does take a long time.

Then I eventually got back home. How glad I was! But then there was another surprise, a message from Nana Ann saying she was coming up from London and would I pick her up at the station. Now she was here only a few days ago, so that makes it two visits in a week. I can guess why. When she was here a few days ago, she found the house and garden in "such a state" she's decided to come back and finish the job. But it's nice to see her anyway.

Tonight I'g going to ring you Mam, so keep your fingers crossed for me - and you. We are still a very long way from us getting to see you (for the first time!) but let's hope this will eventually happen. I know it's your fourth birthday coming up very soon, but that will probably be too soon. Let's hope!

Love from

Grandad Kit and Nana Ann
