Dear “Tom”

Long car journey

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 had to drive all the way back home frm Wales, but first I had to put Nana Ann back on the train to London. When she came the previous day, she had to stand all the way because the train was really crowded and there were no spare seats. This time the train was not so crowded, but even so Nana Ann was lucky because a lot of raileay lines have been flooded and therefore the trains can't run on those lines.

Grandad went home a different way, to make sure I wasn't stuck in any floods. It took a lot longer, and I didn't get home until very late, but it was worth it. Thousnads of people still can't get back into their homes because of all the floods - it's terrible. When that sort of thing happens, you realise just how lucky you are, living at home and sleeping in a nice wrm bed, your own bed.

Back to work tomorrow, and Grandad is having a meeting on the telephone! Maybe I'll get a phone call from you Mam, but its been quite a while now so I think she's decided not to phone. I'll give it a few more days.

Love from

Grandad Kit and Nana Ann
