Blooming marvelous

My wonderful lovely friend, Julia is pregnant. She says that she is enormous but is isn't. She has a little round belly and looks fab. So wonderful to be able to rejoice for your friends.

We have started in earnest the real "work" for the féte in August. Until now it has been a bit when we feel like it, we now HAVE to do stuff.

There are quite a few friend/photographers invited but we have decided to hire a photographer, after lots of scaring meetings, having to smile at really terrible photos and say "oh yes, lovely" when all we wanted to do is run away screaming, we have found our photographer. She is coming next week to see the space and ask us about organizational stuff that we don't yet have the answers for.
