Lexie's 2nd birthday

Made a flying visit to Wales for Lexie's 2nd birthday party on Sunday. She was dressed as Snow White !! Gorgeous. Everything is "princess, princess, princess" at the moment, so she was a princess for the day.
As always, she was full of smiles and cuddles, and sooooooooooo cute and comical. And despite the house being rammed full of people, all pointing cameras at her (!) she was a total sweetie for the whole 4 hours .


Fingers crossed also, but it looks like Dawn has bought a house. Watch this space . . . . .

rain, rain, go away !

the rain has settled in for the week now methinks. Grotty dark rainy mornings. My least favourite time of the year for 6am dog walking !! grrrr

Anna & Simon are coming to stay this weekend - looking forward to that. Plenty of shopping to be done in the new Cabot's Circus centre, plus a Bottelino's meal on Saturday evening - lovely.

Emma, Paul & Lexie are in Florida for 2 weeks - lucky people. I think they are going to "Disney-out" !!

I've nearly finished my Xmas shopping for Lexie (and got her birthday pressies too).
Got her some lovely toys, and most of "Zara" !!!
Her 2nd birthday party will be on Sunday 26th October - yeah !!

My shining light in these dark times is Austin Healey on Strictly Come Dancing !!
2 of my favourite things in 1 - it could only be better if Orlando Bloom was dancing too (although in a certain light Tom Chambers looks pretty similar !)
I never want it to end, I love it. And Austin is awesome !!!!
