Hi! I haven't got very long so this is going to be a short blog i'm afraid!

Formal reception last night was a bit weepy; we just wanted to say thankyou to everyone thats helped organise everything. We have had such a good time, ...

Day 1: I was with the older girls; aged from about 12-13, fondly known as the fashionistas.
