Elsie is standing up – it is magnificent! Only holding on to things, but she can pull herself up and stand in a very wobbly manner for a few seconds all by herself. Wow! She is so cool.

I am so pleased it’s the weekend – although annoyingly this morning my alarm went off, so we were all awoken by salsa merengue at 6.30am, which was such a delight. But we went back to sleep after first breakfast and so I don’t feel too bad now. Elsie is having a wee nap while I write this.

We have now got to Cornwall in our wedding journey round Europe. This is Elsie in her rucksack carrying device!
