I am back. It feels as if I never left. My house is a tip, and we have had five world wars in one day, there are four more weeks of school holidays. Gun, head, shoot. I now have to tackle the mountain of washing (actually I lie, its like one pile as I stayed with a friends parents, so we had a washing machine and 35 degree heat to sort us out for two weeks) and then sort my work diary for the next few months. This trip to France was a gorgeous one, made solely with the purpose of visiting a very old close friend and her little boy, who's friendship has lasted across sea and time. As her house couldn't fit all my five thousand, her parents Kindly allowed us to stay in their house.

A break…

Elliot goes to school with my little Phoebe and is a good friend to her. As we leave for our holidays ...
Nightmares and Dreams
This week at Plumb and Rabbitts has been a stressful but equally lovely one. I celebrated my daughters sixth birthday, my 9 year old was very seriously ill yesterday evening resulting in a rush down to the nearest A & E. We got another buyer for our house after losing the first two (lets hope this one sticks!), which in turn meant we can again proceed with the purchase of our first marital home. I missed the wedding show I had been working towards for two weeks due to the hospital rush. I am incredibly exhausted but have two cakes due this Saturday and a wedding cake due on Monday so its full steam ahead until I start my annual leave on the 20th. As family we had a lovely thing to do last week which was a family beach shoot by the very talented Fiona Saxton. As I have a large family its so hard ...
