Had a lovely day today with big sis and her family, celebrating her birthday. We even managed to get out for a walk in the beautiful afternoon sunshine with the rays of light bursting through the clouds. And congratulations to Andy Murray and Ben Ainslie for for todays gold medals for team GB.

Great Britain win six gold medals on Day Eight of the London Games to enjoy their most successful day at an Olympics in 104 years. What more can I say? GO Team GB. Loving these games!!

We had a busy day at a friend’s house today. And apart from a scary moment in the swimming pool having to fish one over confident son out of the water, the boys had a blast and came home very happy and very tired. A little snooze in the car, however, affected their willingness to […]

I spent a few lovely hours with just my eldest child and my baby today – it was lovely. Of course, the outing involved buying a present for Barnaby, and as he is Olympic mad, he wanted todays photographic subject to be Wenlock, his treat.

Anyway, I went back and renumbered from where I saw it went (majorly) wrong and this has given me a few more […]

I had a few hours with just Willow, and was meant to be tidying the house, but taking photos of her was so much more fun. Here she is, smiling in her sleep. Wonder what she was dreaming of?

I am sure I put her down somewhere….

And the games have begun. Whilst I can’t be there myself, I am enjoying the opening ceremony on TV and am looking forward to all the events this next fortnight. Go Team GB.
