Although he's quite the expert on cake and presents... we're secretly quite pleased as we'd planned a party at the new place and didn't realise what a state it would be in. <br />Add a steam train ride to the boat trip, a picnic in the woods with his fellow rugrats and a jaunt to Yorkshire Sculpture Park and it seems like quite the extravaganza, doesn't it? I hope he values experiences over 'things'! xSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038836502384520598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435067378873425197.post-12881237711364662932015-08-26T16:25:52.241+01:002015-08-26T16:25:52.241+01:00Don't be sorry!

The farm shop sounds excellent, I love places like that. The house will blossom in its own time, I am sure, but I completely understand that feeling of looking at the bare bones. Is Joe looking forward to his birthday? A boat trip sounds like a brilliant adventure.

I enjoy Autumn, but I'm not sure that I'm ready for it just yet. I feel as if we get a glimpse of summer, and then it retreats. It's teeming with rain as I write this. Not summery at all. Looks like another visit to the swimming pool for Olly and me.<br />Leanne xxLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617604296746784414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435067378873425197.post-68550995431785314282015-08-24T22:09:49.604+01:002015-08-24T22:09:49.604+01:00Gorgeous post Sarah!
