When the weather is good there's nothing more perfect than an English Summer Day. We don't need blazing sunshine since we do all we can to avoid it in our life overseas. What is idyllic for us is to be able to play outside all day without fear of sunburn, dehydration or mosquitoes. Needing to wear a cardigan is a rare treat for our girls and despite being warned that the weather is up to it's usual July tricks, so far so good in the 2 days that we've been back. We've even managed a picnic on the grass. Rosie has the gardening bug and Emily likes to think she has although doesn't like having dirty hands which might prove to be a problem. The long journey and the associated jetlag has meant that both girls have been asleep before the last pages of their bedtime books are turned and I'm sure that the fresh air has helped too. We have lots of plans for the next few weeks and the girls are incredibly excited to be spending time with all their grandparents, cousins and friends. We're keeping our fingers crossed that the weather doesn't let us down but in any case it feels great to be home.
