Carrot top

Lottie graced my bed last night but was gone back to Lincolnshire by the time I awoke.

I was up and out by 10.30am and went over the see C and the bubs for the first time in two weeks. Poor old three month old Tilly has her legs in a harness brace thing to help her hips to grow correctly. It looks rather odd but is already doing the trick so it'll only be six weeks that she has to wear it.

They say their new house is coming on well with the new staircase now in. They're really excited and hope to move in by the end of March. Teddy is just as charming and entertaining as ever. A joy to be around and he has such a winning smile with his four front teeth. We all skyped with C in Oz, which is the first time since they were with us over Christmas. All's well there apart from a trapped nerve in his hip.

After lunch I went to Brackley to do a quick supermarket shop and to pick up Bilbo as P and Co are still in Bristol visiting P's sick father.

I took him for a lovely fresh walk in Castle Field then watched Bath v Saints on the telly.
