The lodger and I have just finished putting together a small set of swings for the twins - a present for their first birthday tomorrow. We'll be having a party* on Saturday, with 4 children of the same age from their swimming class. #2 son and wife had hoped to be with us but he can't get leave so she'll be on her own. After a little foot shuffling the lodger has confirmed that he and last year's bridesmaid are a serious item and so she'll be with us too.
ION the new au pair is settling in well, the "old" one is about to go off travelling for a couple of weeks before flying back to Sweden near the end of August.
*The small party has now grown to c24 adults, 6 c1 year old children plus 5 older siblings. 😳
Enjoy the party @TheOrganist. The main thing I remember from our son's first birthday was him trying to touch the candle flame.
We did some gardening this evening. In the winter we were all full of talk about spending our summer evenings in the garden. I think this is the first time we've actually done it!
