Happy Birthday Matthew

I know you have seen the above pictures before, on Sams Birthday ,Today Matthew ,is fourteen ,he is the first  son of my daughter Kate and Martin her husband,I think out of all our eight Grandsons Matt looks most ,like his late Grandfather Mick ,he would have been so proud of his youngest daughter and her boys ,he would have loved Martin ,Matthew was born with a narrow valve to the heart ,so hes been a regular visitor to Great Ormand street hospital ,in London ,he hasnt needed to go this year ,but has to go back again next year ,this hasnt stopped Matt ,he is a keen sports man ,he loves to swim ,and enjoyed his snorkeling experiance ,whilst on holiday in Alcudia recently ,he likes football watching and playing ,and also plays rugby ,he is a clever student always getting good grades along with good school reports ,I have just spoken to him on the phone ,where they are all spending a few days,in Skegness ,in Lincolnshire ,where their other Granny has a caravan,he tells me its raining there quite heavily ,it doesnt seem fair after all the hot weather last week ...speaking to him on the phone I hardly recognise him ,his voice has broken now ,along way from the little boy I used to look after ,so his Mummy could go to work ,we had a great time ,watching alllllll  ! the Thomas the tank engine tapes over and over ,If Ringo Starr ever lost his voice I could have done the narration , and we used to spend hours watching the real trains ,on their way to London ,and on the other line going North ...we liked Noddy too ,but not the Gremlins in the 'Dark Wood ',I made a Noddy complete with a bell on his hat ,who was much loved at the time ,though its been raining Matt tells me they have been shopping ,he has been spending his Birthday money .So a very happy birthday Matt with love from Granny Jan xxxxxx
