1. & 2. Crafting at Tate St Ives. 3. The big difference between Fred and myself is that he loves the camera and I don't. 4. We had a photo shoot at the cottage for an exciting new project - I'll be able to reveal more soon. 5. Wren is so much fun, she's always up to mischief. 6. I sampled the most delicious jam and marmalade from the Jamsmith club.

This week was all about Wren's birthday. She turned two on Tuesday and we celebrated with a little party at home over the weekend. It was very simple, just a couple of friends and we got the kids making pizzas. Wren was very lucky and got lots of nice presents; a Clothkits dolly and xylophone from her grandparents, some new crayons and books from friends and real, child-sized cooking equipment from us. It rained all day on her actual birthday, so we spent the day inside baking cakes and biscuits with her new tools.

It's been ages since I've done one of these posts. We've been so busy that I forget to pick up the camera. I really want to change this though, because if nothing else, I want the memories to look back on in years to come. Here are a few things that we've been doing lately...
1, 5 & 6. Admiring the buildings at the Royal William Yard in Plymouth. 2. Making friends with watering cans. 3. Spring cleaning. 4. Smiling and growing. 7. Exploring the garden.

We just got back from a fun holiday visiting friends and family in the southeast of England. We stayed at the truly lovely Hawthbush Farm in Sussex and had a great time hanging out, eating macaroons and enjoying the local area.
