It is lovely to be back in our own home. The weather here has been better than that we experienced in Australia - that will teach us to leave! The garden has grown into a wild meadow in our absence and so William and Sophie has spent the bank holiday weekend helping us mow and weed. I chopped a few branches off one of the lilac trees and brought them inside. I love being able to pick flowers from my own garden. ☺ Now I just need to visit the garden centre and buy some new plants - what fun.
We found out today that William has been accepted at our first choice of primary school, St Andrews, which is a short walk from our house. He starts on Monday 5th September – what a big boy! I already excited and nervous for him....what on Earth will I be like on the day? He seems pretty calm about the idea though.
My step-Grandmother, (also called) Jo, came and stayed with us for a night last weekend on her way to Heathrow at the end of a holiday. It was lovely for her to meet Sophie and we all enjoyed being tourists in Oxford together for a day. As she has extensive experience minding her seven grandchildren, she was great with the kids.
On the Monday bank holiday we went to Blenheim Palace to watch the falconry and jousting - lots of fun! We enjoyed a picnic lunch there with friends (Rae, Maeve and Edward) as well as a train ride and the kids and I enjoyed doing the hedge maze.
