We had a lovely day yesterday, out at the Harbour Festival with Uncle Dan! And we met up with (real!) Auntie Sally and Uncle Ryan. I really appreciate full days with her now – we had a completely magic moment where I was holding her and rocking out to Fortune Drive in the rain, with Rob holding a brolly over us, and she fell asleep in my arms for the first time in ages. I couldn’t stop gazing at her beautiful beautiful face, feeling incredibly warm and fuzzy inside! Another highlight was buying loads of cheese from the French market, which I will share with Elsie if she’s a very good girl!

She is in her playpen at the moment bashing ducks together, her favourite pastime now. It doesn’t have to be ducks, but she loves this new amazing skill of whacking two things against each other! She is also into making growling ferocious noises at the moment – when I try and do it back it really hurts my throat so I’m not sure how she keeps it up!

I don’t have her nursery diary with me at the mo, so I can’t update you on that, but I did speak to them on Friday and they were so lovely – saying she’s settled in really well and she’s such a happy little girl. I think they get how brilliant she is, which is very reassuring.

Here are some more pictures from our jollies in Hay on Wye.
