modflowers: pencil caseWe have returned from our weekend in Devon celebrating lad’s twelfth birthday.

His friends were away on their holidays and he was a little disappointed not to be able to hook up with them for the usual fun. So we decided to sort out some family fun instead.

It was a gorgeous weekend all round. Beaches, pizza, ice-cream, countryside – and a VW tent at the bed and breakfast for lad to sleep in…

VW Camper tent!His presents included a new watch gadgety enough for even the most gadget-obsessed lad, headphones – and some drawing pens from his best buddy, delivered by his dad before we left.

I had to run up a quick pencil case this afternoon, for lad to keep them in. Which took me all of ten minutes.

The birthday weekend was over all too quickly.

But his friends will be back to play soon. ♥

I came back from my business advice session today tired, but full of enthusiasm. The long walk up the hill in the heat of the day made my legs feel like lead. But armed with a head full of finance … Continue reading →
