Sugar rush

What do you get when you cross a sugar-high toddler with a poorly husband? I can tell you that the end result wasn't great.

Angus was off work today and not well at all. Had we not had a child or guests coming, I rather suspect he would have spent the whole day in bed. As it happens, we had both. Being ill just isn't an option when you're a parent we've both learnt and he didn't have a fun day at all.

In other news, Audrey ate her first bit of Easter egg and the results were err....interesting (if not slightly alarming). Sugar is not good for an already spirited child it seems!

We also tried to eat out with Laura and James at The Parlour (Mmmmm Parlour Roast). See picture of Audrey getting some fresh air after dinner. It all got too much for Angus and Audrey who left us to it at the dessert course.

I know it's a bit selfish to admit but despite all the kerfuffle (grumpy ill husbands and hyperactive children); I had a lovely day with Laura and James. We had a proper chinwag and catch up and the couple of glasses of wine sat outside on Beech Road felt lovely.
