Scrumpy’s Hip Op
So last Wednesday was the rather miserable day – for us and for Scrumpy – as it was time for her to have her second femoral her d& neck excision. Basically removing half her hip bone on the left side, having had the same op last year on her right side. She had two nights…

Soph’s Birthday
Had a mini gathering Fri eve to celebrate Sophie's birthday that day. Boys took one for the team and headed up to Billingsgate Market to hunter-gather vast amounts of seafood including two live lobsters for the feast. Pam & Jude popped by for a pre-dinner drink with one of their very nice personalised bottles…

Patio & Twinny
And the day is here – the building of our new garden patio is upon us. Mr H has taken it upon himself to be the master builder, roping lucky chum Jules and a young bit of muscle in the form of bronzed Callum.. mmm, bonus. The delightful skip has arrived on the drive alongside…

Baby Lettie
Aaaah, just had to steal this pic off Instagram – great-niece Violet / Lettie, looking her usual gorgeous self in my brother's garden in Kent. As Mum Jess's comment says '9 months in, now 9 months out'…. Also notably surrounded by multiple Miffy toys, sourced by my sister…

July Socials
So nice that life is starting to feel a tiny bit more normal – not exactly the fluid happy times of old but buoyed up massively by the pleasures of seeing people in the flesh, rather than on screen. Mr H headed out to Dorset this week with Jules, for a 3 night torture trip…

‘Hallo, Harro-gate’
Mr H & I are just back from a long anticipated and very much enjoyed three night stay up with our friends Mandy & David, oop narth. SO lovely to see them and to enjoy the splendour of their ma-hu-sive still quite new pad, with its incredible green countryside views. And to wake up to…
