Saturday

Georgie came to stay this weekend and was as adorable as ever. No matter how many times Ruby pulled, tugged and attempted to climb on her, Georgie happily and patiently tolerated it all, while Ruby was beside her self with excitement at Georgie's every move.
Ruby spent the best part of the weekend practising her standing and walking skills and she's really mastered the ability to pull herself up into a standing position, balance with one hand supporting her weight and then letting go, momentarily teetering on her legs, before bumping to the floor on her bottom.
After we got back from a morning walk in Roundwood Park, Jane, Hugo and Beatrice popped in for a cup of tea. We shopped, cleaned and cooked in the afternoon to prepare for dinner with Lorena and Vittoriano; slow roasted lamb, with vegetable mash and greens.
