Last week we all went camping in Kent. The campsite was Welsummer and it was only about an hour and a half away. The weather was fine at the beginning of the week, but deteriorated by the end of the holiday. The children played in the forest and also in the fields with the other [...]

Freya has been out of hospital since Tuesday and is doing really well – if you saw her you wouldn’t know that she had a major operation. These are some photos of Freya when she was in hospital on 28/07/10 and also of us in Hockley Woods where we went for a picnic yesterday.
