Grandma Sparkle.

aww i bet he loved it Marge

I can see him in the window reflection Marge. I bet he was thrilled. Good for you. :o)

You make a lovely Grandma :o)
I wish I still had mine.

Good for you Marge...hope Grandad is on the mend

Nice one Marge, but worth the picture on your grandson's face.

Hi everyone, thanks for comments, my daughter and Louis have had another of their busy socialising weekends, she says he told everyone about Big Bens bongs and Grandma with the Sparklers. It will have been his first day back at Nursery today - I bet they get told the story too, I hope they don't think I kept him up until midnight.

Hello Marge, Happy New Year!

I used to do this on bonfire night when my children were very small and too scared of the noise to be outside with the fireworks!

Great photo

Hi, a follow up on this photo. Our grandson has always adorded his Grandad, his opinion of me was "silly Gwandma" who can't put his shoes on the right feet, or put a D.V.D., in the machine and set it off.

Since I did a special New Year (Grandad had the flu) at eight o'clock, complete with Big Bens twelve bongs (on the Computor), then went out in the garden to do the Sparklers, he has told everyone he has met about his "Gwandma Sparkle and the bongs".

So it's Gwandma 1, and Gwandad nil

lol well done gwandma, your his hero now by the sounds of it

Thanks Irish. Was just about to turn computor off, when you popped up!
Goodnight, sleep tight.

Dear Marge: Thank you for sending me this website. It is so uplifting. I love the photo of you smiling and holding your sparkler. I have always been afraid of them! Only love would make you go out in the cold and cheer up grandad and little Louis. I do hope grandad is better now. Love: Charlotte (jollyweez)

Hi, I am glad you have found your way here. I think you will find lots of friends here. There is just so much activity going on - pictures, poems, stories from all over the world, all sorts of stuff. Love Marge.
