I like phone messages.

Here he is with the socks.. and he ate the Welsh cakes right away! I guess he liked them!

So lovely to get phone messages like this, if only they really realised what joy it gives us grandmas. I do get phone calls, but I don't think they know how we love to hear how they are.

Sometimes I'm told they haven't done much all week but I've said that to friends, who have ended the call with 'So lovely to hear your voice.' Which makes me realise how much they wanted that call. 

Have you ever met someone who you haven't seen for a while, or even someone you don't know, who can't stop talking. How lonely they must have been, so they had to tell you everything there and then. I smiled at a lady in a garden centre once, while we  both stood there, admiring the abundance of spring bulbs, that were displayed there and before I knew it she was telling me about a difficult situation she was experiencing. We stood there together while she talked and talked, she was in quite a state, but I left her smiling and I felt good for the chat too..I was glad I was there for her at that time when she needed it. 

So don't be afraid to phone someone, you could probably make their day.
