I've just received in the post a letter from the company I had contacted regarding copies of my Rosie Cosie! I'm thrilled to bits to get a response to my letter and to know that they are taking the matter seriously and looking into it.

Have a great weekend all!

Well, that's the first week of the school Easter break all done and dusted. The children and I have arrived back relaxed and refreshed after staying with my Mum and Dad. We had a lovely time – Amy got to play with her cousins and go on easter egg hunts, Toby got to enjoy lots of trips to the park and I was pampered and very well looked after. The highlight of last week though was the bloggers picnic on Wednesday. Amy and I left Toby with my Mum and Dad and set off into the Oxfordshire countryside. We had a brilliant day, the weather was kind (although some of us were caught unawares and got a bit sunburnt!) and the company was fine indeed. Organised by the very lovely Lucy Locket and her big sis Ally, the attendees were Ali, Trashy, Moogsmum, Kitty, Eve, Jane, Penny, Julia, Kate along with our associated offspring. All the children had a wild time and made friends while us ladies sat and chatted. It was so nice to meet everyone in person and I truly felt among friends. There were goodies too – an Easter egg swap for the children and a handmade exchange between grown-ups. I was thrilled to bits with my beautifully wrapped package from Moogsmum which contained a gorgeous quilted basket, crocheted corsage in my favourite colours, chocolates and ribbon – thanks so much Lesley.

Huge thanks too Lucy Locket for getting it all organised – it really was a perfect day and I hope we can all do it again sometime.
