Ellie has been disappointed the last few evenings when her favourite moon has hidden behind the clouds.
I was up early enough this morning to photograph one at 5 a.m. and print her a copy.
Afterwards I posted
Although Dillon is a very experienced driver with an American licence he has to take a UK test which is booked for tomorrow. Becky came over this afternoon to accompany him when he undertakes it tomorrow, because he needs a UK licenced driver to drive with him. Later they went out for a test run with Flo and Ellie as passengers.
Our daughter therefore stayed over again and joined the rest of us for dinner which consisted of wholesome cottage pie; crunchy carrots; firm cauliflower and broccoli and tasty gravy with which I drank more of the Sangiovese & Syrah Toscana and Jackie drank Hoegaarden.
Such gorgeous pics!!!
Thank you very much, Luisa
My pleasure, dear Derrick!
I love your moon photo, Derrick! It was so sweet of you to get up and outside so early for Ellie. ❤️ I hope that Dillon passes his UK drivers license test easily. That would be tricky for me since the left and right turns are different among much more I am sure.
Best of luck, Dillon!
Our American drivers licenses are all different looking yet have some standard things on them too. My Nevada drivers license looks very different from my old Michigan drivers license.
Thank you very much, John
You’re welcome as always, Derrick. ????
Beautiful photos. I hope Ellie was pleased. Good luck to Dillon!
She was, Merril. Thank you very much
It’s so nice to have extended family living nearby. You and Jackie are awesome grandparents!
Thank you very much, JoAnna
Sounds like a successful day, followed by a good meal. Hope Ellie enjoys her moon shot.
She is very pleased with it. Thanks very much, Pat
Bingo! I just finished making cottage pie to take with me as we visit all three of our granddaughters for Easter Saturday. Last time we saw them all together was November at a wedding, which of course, was too busy for chitter-chatter. It would be nice if we were all close together and saw each other regularly as you do with your family. Our great-grandchildren will be there too of course, the boy Aceson, and our own little Ellie.
Hoping Dillon “sails” through his test with flying colours.
Thank you so much, Gwen. Enjoy the day
You’re such a lovely great-grandpa!
Thank you so much, Dale
I’ll bet Ellie was thrilled with her moon photo. I’d say it needs to be framed and hung in her bedroom.
She was, Liz. A good idea. Thanks very much
You’re welcome, Derrick.
The moon shots on your early rise look like making a virtue out of a necessity. Well done.
Thanks very much, Tootlepedal
Your moon photos are Fabulous Derrick …

Dark side lullabies
Thank you so much, Ivor
I hope Ellie liked her moon pictures.
All the best to Dillon for the driving test.
She did, Sue. Thank you very much
Hope he passes his test. Enjoy your time with family.
Thank you very much, Andy
You’re welcome.
Oh, Derrick, I love that you took photos of the moon for your sweet Ellie. I hope she will carry that story for life.
Thank you very much, Alys. She came to me while I was working on the computer and asked me to get the moon on the screen. Not the full sentence you understand 🙂
That is so dear.
Best of luck to Dillon!
Such beautiful photos! How sweet of you to take photos of Ellie’s moon and gift them to her! I’m sure she was thrilled! That moon likes to play hide and seek some nights. Ha!
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your moon photos are lovely. It is kind of you to get up early to take them for Ellie
Thank you very much, Robbie
Little Ellie has a very doting grandfather!
Wish Dillon best of luck on his driving test.
Thanks very much, Lavinia. He passed
Sorry Derrick, I meant to say great-grandfather.
🙂
How kind of you to capture the moon for Ellie! Oh, and I wish I were there sipping a little of that Sangiovese & Syrah Toscana with you!!
Thanks very much, Jan
That’s very complicated driving on the other side of the road!
Thank you very much, Barbara
Here’s hoping that Dillon passes his UK driving test. Even as a pedestrian and front-seat passenger in a vehicle, I found it difficult to adjust to changes of left- and right-hand driving.
He did. Thanks very much, Rosaliene
The moon is always such a hard thing to photograph, one day I might master it.
Very difficult. Clouds always help. Thanks very much, Gary
Not for nothing are you and Jackie Ellie’s faves.
Beautiful pictures for dear little Ellie.
Thanks very much, Laurie
What a beautiful moon! No wonder is Ellie’s favorite 🙂
Thank you very much, Riba
The UK doesn’t accept an American license? tsss.
I still have my old French license. Eternally valid, so I’m told. Would it work in the UK? ???? Oh, that’s right you guys drive on the “wrong” side of the road… ????
Thanks a lot, Brian. The law came in when it was discovered that certain other countries’ driving tests were so inadequate that it was dangerous to let them loose on our roads.
Understandable. In Mexico you can’t take driving lessons unless you already have a license… So most people never take lessons. LOL.
