Family First

My middle daughter has been in a lot of pain for over a year or more...On Wednesday she finally received the treatment needed (by way of an operation), which will hopefully set her on the road to a full recovery.
Whilst she has had all of this to get through, her little-one stayed with us over-night. Keen for her not to miss her Mummy too much, my youngest daughter and I took her out for some farmyard fun as a distraction. Already a definite animal lover, this was just the thing to keep her happy and thoroughly entertained all morning.
Young aunties have so many great uses! ;-))
Whilst my daughter recovers from her ordeal, I shall be on hand for lots more baby-sitting and helping in her home. I may be off the radar for a little while, until things get back to normal...I'm already aware that I owe several emails to people (two days away from my PC and I fall way behind!)  I'm also aware that I probably would have struggled being an older mother with young children...I'd forgotten how energetic little-ones are and the fun they like to have during their every waking moment - But its a joy trying to keep up! :)

I had to go into work today though...
Please excuse the dark circles around my eyes(!) - its been a worrying couple of days...but as a lovely distraction from all of that, look who came to visit my shop today! - It's Maria, with her hubby Sergio! Once again, they had travelled from Italy and stopped-by my shop looking for Nostalgic lovelies! :) ...
And in return I received these typically Italian tasty lovelies...Oh the calories!!

Enjoy the rest of your week - I'll leave my blog now with some photos of our garden, taken on Tuesday when the sun was shining...
