A day out with the Grandfolks

Having a cuppa and biscuits at Nan's

Out for lunch at what Grant likes to call 'the ol' fuddy duddy restaurant'
check out the cauliflower top in the back


Out of all the delicious desserts, Nan and Bob chose the meringues, basically a big pink sugar puff cut with cream.

Old British people love their sweets
I just through this one in of Julius!
