Emily finished nursery on Tues and all the playgroups we regulary go to have stopped so were in full on holiday mode pj's on till dinner time ssshh don't tell!! In September she will start at the nursery where she will be going to school. She calls it BIG nursery !

While Elliott was having his mid morning sleep today Emily did some painting. Here she is getting stuck in.

This is her favourite activity stick a paint brush in her hand and she'll sit quietly for ages. She did ask me to join in and then said that mummy likes to paint walls and fences!!!! (I'm painting the picket fence in our front garden at the moment!) Then she said mummy can I paint the wall like you?!! Bless I love the little things she comes out with I did explain to her that this was a mummy only job with special paint out of a big tin not for little girls! I think I will let her have a go next time I do a bit of painting.

Weve had the 3rd barbecue of the year this evening it was lovely to sit in the garden on our deckchairs with a glass on wine!

Hope your all enjoying this warm spell of weather hope it lasts through the weekend for us all!

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for the award :). You and I are so alike! I have discovered joules this year too and even have the same dress as you... I have been and bought loads for Ella and Jeremy, the quality of the clothes is fantastic, we have a joules boutique in our town and joules online has a huge sale on at the moment. You take care and I will drop by again after my holiday.

Thanks for the award Sarah, my little dear loves painting too but unfortunately we do not do that much her as I have a fear factor with all the mess!

The decision to move to Scotland has been brewing for a while, other places to consider were the Lakes but the prices there are so expensive so we would not beable to do what we really want!

Hello Sarah, I'm new to your blog and I wanted to say how lovely it is! I've enjoyed reading back through your posts and am about to go check out Joules online too (all my "new" clothes this year have been from charity shops, how sad).
Juts to say as well I've been visiting with Emma at the LavenderHouse after you pointed her to my blog and ohhh what a joy to be found there too. Thanks so very much for connecting us! Have a lovely day, will be back to visit again soon
