I was a bit nervous how Grandma would be, with Emily around, but in the end she was fine. We spent a while at the public gardens in Braintree, then had lunch at a small garden centre in Bocking. It was not the most satisfying meal I've ever had, I must confess. James works there a couple of days a week, though it was not his day to be there this time. Probably just as well, as when he gets together with Grandma it all gets a bit over-emotional, I gather.
After lunch we drove to Maldon, which was heaving down by the waterfront park. There was an Easter holiday funfair, and there must have been a good couple of hundred children at the pirate boat playground alone. Emily mainly wanted to play in the sand though she and I also had fun on the boat. Understandably, Grandma was full of nostalgia and talked a lot about Grandad, saying how romantic he had been. He told her he loved her every day, apparently.
