A funny kind of day

E (my 4 year-old) and I were going to have a nice girlie day today. It started well. After swimming we went to a fab local children's book shop where we had coffee/a cup of milk and bought a couple of books, on to the yarn shop, then a quick round of the charity shops where we were lucky enough to find these...

Then home for lunch where I found this gorgeous bouquet waiting for me...

We made biscuits...

and then the afternoon went rapidly downhill. E took to her bed where she had a quick sleep followed by a lot of screaming and complaining of a sore tummy. It Was Not Good. I am pleased to report, however, that after another sleep she was well enough to come downstairs for pudding at tea time. Ice-cream, raspberries and mars bar sauce (melt a mars bar with a splash of milk) in our lovely new dishes. Enough to make anyone feel better.
