Day two for Griff has come to an end at Casa White-Watson. This boy is a handful and much more, um, enthusiastic than Ollie was (or we remember, perhaps more truthfully). Good thing he's our second so we know all his little tricks!
Today's video of Ollie and Griff playing. Quite cute.
Griff with his Grandpa who stayed with us this week and took us to Spur for dinner. Remember when you could eat out in your pyjamas?!

In post-WW2 years it appears various local authorities issued a tenants handbook, usually produced on their behalf by a third-prty who covered costs by selling pertinent advertising. This contains the various "do's-and-don'ts" for the tenants, with information relating to the rules and regulations of tenancy. In addition to the 'rules' their are hints and advice on a range of domestic issues along with adverts for local concerns whose goods and services may have been of use to the tenants. This was a time when a great many people lived in council housing and such accomodation was sought after.
The guide was issued by the County Borough of Swansea's Hosuing Committee, shown as at 1957/8, and published, as others were, by the Gloucester based British Publsihing Co. Ltd. The booklet also contains some grainy images of the various housing estates, most likely the newer post-WW2 ones as the pre-war programme was rapidly being eclipsed by post-war construction as the country struggled to deal with earlier slum clearance programmes and war damaged properties.
This advert is for the local removals business of Griff Fender's who are offering to move you to your new home!
This is the last photo of a group that I haven't put any others up from but I think this is the funniest photo I've got when viewed in context.
Griff Hollows is an idyllic little place hidden away right next to a main road and suburban houses on the edge of Nuneaton. The natural wooded hollow with a brook running through it is full of native bluebells in springtime. The novelist George Eliot grew up near here and it appears in 'The Mill on the Floss' as 'Red Deeps' where the characters Maggie and Philip meet in secret.
