Dear mummy, this time last year we visited Exbury Gardens. We had such a great time we decided to visit again and see all the beautiful flowers. Easter has come around early this year by a couple of weeks, so the weather hasn't been that great compared to last spring. It's only just clearing up now. We... Continue Reading →

Seeing Stars at my 2nd Birthday Party Dear mummy, phew! It's taken us nearly a week to recover from my birthday shenanigans. The cards are still up on the mantelpiece - a fine balancing act as there are so many of them. They are like dominos, if you go to move one they all fall down.... Continue Reading →
My mummy sees things in black and white at the moment with the odd speckles of grey. Halftone colours on a blank canvas. We've had an interesting start to the year already. Self doubt, sickness, stress and all round 'meh'. This new year I want her to see the rainbows in her life. All the... Continue Reading →
