Oh Marjorie, just spotted this! What a beautiful boy and a gorgeous drawing. Thank you for the title, much appreciated. Grandchildren are a blessing aren’t they?

More thanks for looking and commenting - it started out as a reply to Tessa who goes to London once a week to babysit ( we get all the latest news on here). Thank you, Mia, Maureen, Fiona, Heather, Ellen and Russell!

He's totally irresistible! What a gorgeous drawing, Fiona - gorgeous line and tonal work and personality in spades! Beautifully done!

Charlie is in my gallery - he’s 17 now and a handsome young man - this was sketched when he was about twelve months, looking in his toy box. We used to go to babysit in London from Northumberland, but not once a week like you, Tessa! Luckily he now lives 15 miles away.🙂
