The Haven household enjoyed a restful, happy little break over the festive season.
Thank you for dropping by.
Present opening was enjoyed by all
(and some even more than others)
Dad and Mum
... inspecting their new ipad on Christmas Day!
After all, it is never too late to embrace what technology can offer
(..the many wonderful blogs, for example!)
Dad (and if he reads this he won't like me divulging this) is 90, but age is no matter.
He and Mum are well up for using the latest technology!
This year, Old Mr Thames flooded his banks .....
.. so much rain...
the boundary between river and flooded river bank impossible to detect.
Hello Mr Swan, can you guide us ... where should we walk?
We visited The Savill Garden which is free during the month of December.
A spot of walking during an unusually dry spell.
2 hours of bliss.
Mr Darcy and Mr Bingley
“May Light always surround you;
Hope kindle and rebound you.
May your Hurts turn to Healing;
Your Heart embrace Feeling.
May Wounds become Wisdom;
Every Kindness a Prism.
May Laughter infect you;
Your Passion resurrect you.
May Goodness inspire
your Deepest Desires.
Through all that you Reach For,
May your arms Never Tire.”
~ D. Simone
It would seem you all had a lovely holiday, with the exception of the flooding. I hope your home is safe and dry, though.
ReplyDeleteKudos to your parents for being willing to embrace technology! I don't own an "i" anything!
A very happy new year to you all; may it bring love, Light, happiness and good health.
Purrs and peace from the boys, Nicki and Derry.
Our good wishes to all of you for a Very Happy New Year! We enjoyed all the photos, and #1 is beginning to feel as though she is the only person she knows (or knows of) without an iPad. By the way, she has no iPhone either, but she does have an iMac, a MacBook and several iPods...
ReplyDeletePurrs,
The Chans

You know what's so nice about the iPad?
It's ease of use.
Brilliant.
Even my 80+ Mom can and does use it (of course I had to set it up for her).
I say good for them!
Oh Boys, I love seeing you and I always love to see your family as well. And the pictures of where you live are always a pleasure to see.

ReplyDeleteYour parents are very "tech-savy" =)
ReplyDeleteIt was difficult just to convince my Mom and
step-Dad to get an answering machine!
Hope the flooding clears up soon and that you all stay warm and dry.
Many thanks for your visits!
Happy New Year.
And a Meowy New Year to you! Au, Target and Guido and Ellen aka De Survunt
