My girl came home yesterday for a fleeting visit. She has been appreciative of absolutely everything. She has been indulging in warmth, home cooking, cake, television and her dad's cuddles.

Today we headed for our favourite beach walk. On the way we re-visited being upside down.

It is a challenge when she returns as we have to rid the house of everything we think may upset her delicate balance. We hadn't considered the amount of flowers in the house and tonight as she got ready for her party the sneezing started. You can see by her eyes here that the make-up is smudged. Yet throughout it all she was still being upbeat, happy and obliging. Poor baby. I've put them all outside now.
