Bathtime!

Luca was with us all day, Frieda here from lunchtime till 4.30, and Ruth and Eben joined in for tea. It's half-term, so we're all juggling childcare and work arrangements. To add to the fun, Josh is away on a training course and Ruth isn't feeling fully well (a lingering head cold).

Richard got home from Northern Ireland this morning (via the night ferry to Birkenhead), having had about 3 hours sleep. Somehow he managed to stay awake through the cycles of fun, food, periodic meltdowns and recoveries.

But what's not to like with a bath full of water to splash around in? Always a good option when kids are getting tired and fuses are getting a little short :-)
