Sunshine days

The UK seems sun- drenched this week, it's been exceptionally mild. Little L is wearing pretty summer dresses and wanting to go bare-legged to keep cool. We're spending our time outside, at the park, in the garden, walking to and from school with Miss K. The walk home is taking twice as long now as there are so many things to see, tiny ladybirds on leaves, magnolia trees bursting into blossom. The children enjoy collecting the creamy, blushed petals as they drop to the floor.
