i adore your pretty fabrics and havent you and the boys been on some lovely adventures! i do miss the museums in london and there's always so much to do, always seems a bit limited in devon during the winter months. Though i have to admit we have a history museum and ive not taken sophia yet!...i love the granny chic book- the WORKS was doing it for 5.99, so i brought my twinny a copy too for christmas!

your home looks so lovely!!!!

p.s im having a night out- i feel like a granny chic not usually out after dark but im going to a cornish pub for a gig night!- better find some glad rags! wish i had your wardrobe! though i think im a bit more curvy and would find it hard to squeeze into some of your lovely clothes. I realised how lovely the H&M childrens section was today and brought sophia some lovely outfits for under 25 quid!

i need some one to style me are you free? tehe!
