Hello! We had a fantastic day yesterday going fancy shopping with Auntie Katie and Auntie Sally – buying bridesmaids dresses for Katie’s wedding, not for Elsie yet as I have no idea what size she’ll be next March. We went to lots of posh shops in London and Elsie was an absolute angel (unlike Auntie Sally who destroyed a whole coat display in French Connection!!) and found some lovely dresses in Whistles in Selfridges – most exciting!

I was really in two minds about whether to take Elsie – as we had such serious shopping to do – but I have been getting quite upset about not seeing her enough this week. As she hasn’t been well she’s been going to bed very soon after getting home and I worked out I’ve been seeing her for less than an hour in total all day, which is horrible. So I couldn’t bear the thought of a whole day away from her, and took her to London. And I’m so glad I did – she was ace. It was really funny on the train on the way home – after it got dark and she could see her reflection in the window – she was playing peek a boo with herself – most amusing.

These are the last couple of pictures of our trip up to Knowsley a while ago – this is Elsie doing So Big! You can see her two little teeth here – although I think they have grown since this was taken.
