We have had two very busy weekends in the trot comprising the usual ballet and soccer hilarity and strops in the mornings followed by consecutive Saturday night dinner parties (no children allowed) and Sunday afternoon gatherings, with lots of unruly children (not our own) breaking things. I had a small tantrum on Sunday night when I realised one of our friend's kids had broken Scarlett's rosary, which we bought for her at the Vatican when she was a baby. Middle age now means that despite wanting to pack in as much as we can into the two weekends a month Rob doesn't work, Sunday morning hangovers do not work when you are 40 and have a small child who routinely wakes at 7am. Also the thought of entertaining again only a few hours later can only be prepared for with a large gin with just a splash of tonic. Anyhoo, we have enjoyed seeing our friends without kids on the Saturday nights and being able to hold a conversation without a child asking for something, crying about something or grassing on someone about something, although to be fair our adult friends make just as much mess when they are eating as our children. Here are some pix of a lunch, of Florence checking in with her posse on her iPhone, and another of her just looking very cute. Plus a moody shot Scarlett took of Rob - she loves taking pictures and is going through a Mario Testino phase.
