Some weekends, Lily and Daddy wander down to the nearby supermarket. Lily usually gets a little packet of sweets that she eats sitting on Daddy's shoulders on the way back. Daddy often asks for a sweetie and reaches his hand up. Last week, he did so half way home, and found a very slimy, half sucked jelly pushed into his fingers. Rather crossly, he asked for one that hadn't been in Lily's mouth. A few seconds later, he was offered something else. It was the empty packet. When Daddy had asked for a sweet, Lily had literally given him the last sweet she had, even though she was halfway through eating it at the time. A girl as good natured as that certainly deserved another packet of sweeties this week.
We went to see birthday boy Andy (that's him on the left, in case you didn't
recognise him).
Lily Boo enjoyed a fab day and dinner with young Tom.
Here, Lily raises a glass...er, stick, to Tom's good health.
And she was very good with baby Daniel. If not unbearably cute.
