Tomorrow is the last day of the summer holidays and on Monday my children will all be back at school. I'll have approximately 12 weeks of quiet time during the day before our little bundle of joy will be born. I intend to make the most of that time!

Little Barney will be starting his very first day of school on Monday. He's very excited about it, although understandably a little nervous. Annabelle will be starting her first day of High School, whilst her big brother moves into the third year. So Monday will be the first day back to routine since we went travelling around America in January! What a change it will be! It's been so long that I can't even remember what times the schools start and finish at each day.

This week seems to have been very busy. What with running around to get the last few items of uniform, naming uniforms, washing, ironing and generally keeping up with the housework. I've started making homemade bread again (at last). So I'm now fully back to sprouting seeds and making bread, which should really help my health. Dan has been an amazing Dad this week and spent a lot of time with young Barney. Maybe it's the realisation that he will soon be at school. But he has made cakes with him, taken him out on walks, and made little marshmallow top hat sweets. You can read about some of that on Dan's blog - which is rarely updated but worth checking out when it is!

Wednesday evening saw us going to the wedding party of Jools and Andrew. Jools is a belly dancing friend of mine and she looked absolutely beautiful on her wedding day. It was great to see her and also another of my dance friends that has moved away.
