Raising girls

When you have girls, all sorts of ultra-feminine delights await. This week, we took the girls to Bodium castle where they attended the Princess Academy. While Rob and I legged it to the cafe for a cream tea, the girls were put through their paces, dressing up in 'Medieval' costumes, decorating conicle princess hats, learning traditional dancing and, very important, how to curtsey to a knight. When we returned, we found them beaming ear to ear and being presented with a certificate and special seal of Bodium Castle, made of chocolate. I'm incredibly annoyed I forgot my camera as they both looked gorgeous. We also spent a few happy hours queing and then finally being allowed in to the school uniform shop on Tuesday. The uniform is quite strict so we had to buy the right pinafore dresses (even for Flo who will be in nursery school), blazer and games kit. Here are the girls modelling their new looks, post M&S shoe shopping adventure.
