Nearly 3

Here is Ellie who was enjoying looking through the window to our garden. She momentarily looked around.

We had a delightful time with the family today. Mollie, who is 8, is such an easy going child and a lovely big sister to Ellie. Helen remains a relaxed Mum, but one who is always aware of what is going on with the children. She's doing a great job. Last time we saw Ellie she was a baby and was ill. Her temperature was so high that she had to be taken to A & E for a check up.

We had lunch, played, went to the play park in the village, came back and did a bit of fluting, had tea and they went home. Phew!

Mollie is resting the head joint of her flute on her left shoulder as she plays - arghh! Really she needs to grow before she plays the flute. I wish they would start children on fifes which are much easier to handle. Lots of encouragement given by me and we'll see how she does.

I tried some group photos - hilarious in the extreme.
