Auntie Knows Best

Lovely Betty – I love this sweet pussy cat.

Gentle and patient she is usually to be found snuggled up with one of the children. Don’t be fooled though, she is also a merciless killer.

Love her.

Today Basil and I hit 200 miles!

I am still in love with my electric bike!

I felt really rubbish last night and my friend Emma persuaded me to go for a swim.

It was utterly glorious at Cobo and I felt like my brain was reset when I went into the cold water.

I really needed that swim!

The Little Miss was absolutely shattered today and wanted to stay in bed. However, she was keen to show off her World Aid Walk medal. Tired, a bit sun burnt and limping a little she went off to work to show off her hard won medal. I couldn’t be more proud.

Today I went to help out my sister at a local fundraining event called The World Aid Walk. It has been going for many years and it’s current incarnation is either a 20km or a 10km walk across the west coast of Guernsey. It is a beautiful walk and today was a lovely day for it.

The Little Miss decided last night that she wanted to do it so our lovely friend Kayleigh and her sister Vikki took her with them. The plan was that she would keep walking as long as she could and then we would pick her up…. well…. she only went and smashed the full 20km!!

I was so proud of her. Minimal moaning and whinging and she did a fabulous job. Thankyou to Kayleigh and Vikki for taking her.

I spent the day selling t-shirts and organising stuff. It was a busy but fabulous day.

The best thing about this hotel is the glorious view over the east coast of Guernsey. A fabulous unrise and then a view over the rooftops. Lovely.

This evening The Mister and I are staying over at a local hotel – it is lovely to have a bit of breathing space and time to chill out. I love our kids but sometimes I appreciate them all the more when I have a bit of time out! Thankfully we have fabulous friends who will look after them over night.

This afternoon I had to go to a funeral for one of my clients. Always a sad event and I was especially fond of this client.

I cycled to the church on Basil the Bike and it was absolutely beautiful in the lanes, even if I got lost!

These gorgeous flowers were delivered to work today.

Sadly not for me but for one of my colleagues. The office smelt divine!

I am still enjoying doing jigsaws although they take me ages and inevitably there are pieces missing!
