Don't worry, Elle, you were in shock. They probably won't remember what you said, either!

Rusty,
Goodness, what a day this has turned out to be!
All evening, we've both been having flashes of nightmare scenarios as to what COULD have happened! Thank God it didn't! I hope we don't have follow up nightmares tonight....
And now I'm feeling so guilty that I was too harsh on my poor daughter. She and her husband must have been as shocked as we were...well, much more of course, really, as they were there in situ......
Roll on tomorrow when we can talk and hopefully put things right......I did send a text.....
Anyway, tomorrow is another day!

Elle, your reactions etc are completely understandable.
No need to torment yourself.
Your daughter will completely understand.
You behaved like any granny would.
So, look forward to chatting with your family tomorrow.
Don't phone too early, though!
And, you have your other daughter who you can phone too. I am sure she shall endeavour to put your mind at ease.
Now off to bed with you.
You need your rest!

Hi Rusty
Got my copy of Bradford today what a wonderful book

Good morning, Doglet!
Splendid!
Yes, Bradford's is my favourite "go-to" dictionary.
A veritable treasure-house of information.
I hope you find time to browse through it when you are not engrossed with the pets and wildlife!

Hi elle
What a shock! I hope you have a good sleep - if not last night (understandable), then tonight.

Morning Elle,
I don't really know you that well yet, but it does not mean I don't feel sympathy for what you are going through - As everyone has already said, your grandson is unharmed and that's what counts - the rest is of little importance and can be explained by the fright you had.
Hope today is a kinder day!

Thank you, Chris and Pigale for our kind comments! Looking back, I obviously over reacted, but yes, it was the shock.

Rusty, morning!
I spoke to my son- in- law earlier this morning (no, not TOO early!) - my daughter was still asleep. Not surprising after the trauma of yesterday.
But he and I had a long chat - hopefully , all is now sorted and peace reigns again!
We are all going to talk on Skype later today- the grandkids too of course. then I can see for myself how the young one is.
I know I should have kept a tighter control on myself - but hey, shock does strange things (and they SHOULD have been more careful! oops, there I go again)
Anything planned for today? (wet here)
'Are you watching BGT on the day as it's the Final?

Of course it was the shock Elle, but it will all come out in the wash.
My husband fell out of the car going round a bend when he was small. He was unharmed and they laugh about it now. I'm not sure if the grandparents were told though!
