I say poolside as this was where I served these tasty morsels. I had some leftover cooked prawns, not enough for a meal but perfect for making these appetisers. Scott was a bit sceptical about the whole prawn cheese and melon combo but once he had tasted one there was no stopping him, he would have devoured the lot if he could have. Most fruit is a great accompaniment with savoury foods, it gives a little sweetness to a savoury dish, combining the flavours well.

The 18th January was grandma's last full day before going back to Scotland, the girls made the most of the time left playing games and taking photo's.

On the morning of her leaving they played a few games of dominoes before she had to leave for the airport at 12.40pm  And then it was time to say our goodbyes.

  The day Hamish fell in the pool!

I was the only one who saw him fall in and shouted 'the dog'!, Jodie scooped him up so quickly and put him back on the deck, where he proceeded to dry himself on the towel! 😂🐶🐶. She also managed to grab these photos with my phone 😉

Wise words!!

The girls and grandma went bowling for a second time as they had vouchers to use up and as grandma is leaving tomorrow they went yesterday. We also had our lunch there The girls and grandma have made some fantastic memories together that will be forever cherished.
