    Wednesday came early this week. Well, it felt like it did!

    I'm not sure where this week has gone but it feels like it was only the weekend yesterday. Slow down world, that's an order. I don't want life to go so quick, I want to savour every day and make sure that I make the most of it.

    Sometimes life is quite simply good and this weekend was a good one!

    What was strange was that we had to give up our lazy mornings to do everything that was planned for the weekend! No more still being in bed at 9 o'clock, it would be up at 7.30 am both days. Are we mad????

    Dear you guys in admin,
