  5. Thanks Maria, Madelief and Victoria for leaving me such kind comments -I must admit that I am a bit partial to the red but the pink is pretty nice too!

    Hi e! It sounds like Rob is "King of the Kids"! There is nothing like a good juggling act to keep kids amused - maybe you should get those batons for him so he can add to his repertoire!

    Thanks Kena. I would love to get some of the letter cushions for my place! It always takes a while to put it all together but I find it quite fun too!


    It's so good to hear from you all. Please forgive me for not being able to visit you until later in the week - we have some access problems here:(

    Can't wait to catch up with you all,
