Back in the Shire

Back with the girls! 


Since landing back in the UK last week we spent five rather glorious days back in the Shire, seeing family, catching up with one or two of the millions of babies and girls with bumps that seem to be parading around my world at the moment, and generally mooching around town.
            Ever since we landed the days have been packed back to back with plans, but it means that I have thankfully reached the end of my time at home having caught up with nearly everyone required.
            In a most simple summary, the past five days have consisted of: hugging babies and bumps with Jennifer and Jenna during breakfast, celebrating Poppy’s fast approaching wedding with a little mini-Hen lunch party, enjoying way too many drinks in Emsworth with the other locals, being reunited with my lovely girls and the beautiful (now one year old) Emily when they all travelled all the way down to the Shire to meet up for a sunny breakfast at Standstead House, feeding the ducks with Debbie, belated birthday celebrations, Happy Crumble and the very best yellow fish pie courtesy of Mamu, spending time mooching around the shops and checking out local flower exhibits with mummy, grabbing slightly chilly drinks at the sailing club, lunching with the Brown family (and napping heftily on the sofa once the other guest had left as it was clearly exhausting doing all that eating and drinking), wandering around Petersfield, drinking way too much coffee, scoffing jacket potatoes at a seaside pub and getting my hair painted in an attempt to look presentable for the wedding this weekend.
            It’s been a busy few days, and whilst I sadly can’t share a full run through of events in real detail, I can share some photos of my adventures, which is almost more fun anyway – see:
