Ellie’s alarm didnt go off at 8.30 but instead she turned it off in her sleep this morning and then punched me in the arm to wake me up from my blissfully deep sleep under that lovely big fluffy duvet at 9.20am. Ten minutes until breakfast was due to be served! Greeeeeat. I love wake up calls like that.... (she’s not in charge of the alarm tomorrow).

Such a lovey setting to watch the world go b...
