Good morning. We've got a busy day ahead. Jack has a tennis lesson this morning, Thomas is going to a party a bit later and then the four of us are off to watch England U20's play against Ireland this evening.

Vintage Charm...

I am still very much liking not being at work this week and being home with my boys :-) They are off to play basketball this afternoon so I have 3 hours all to myself. Oh, what to do...

We had a fab time at the Tower of London. My youngest loved the Crown Jewels and son number 1 loved the armour. Here's a little pic of the two of them having a break with hot chocolate and popcorn whilst sitting on a cannon ;-)

I made this card several weeks ago and didn't get round to blogging it. I love the old-fashioned look of it...
