Leeds

Lily left for the Leeds Festival today - she's been looking forward it for ages and couldn't wait to get there. She's gone until Monday now and I'm missing her already!

But she's doing all the things I never did at her age like festivals and University (I was only a bit older than her when she was born) and I'm so glad. It made me really proud to see her hotfooting down the road in her wellies with her cider supplies and pull along suitcase bulging with the majority of Topshops summer 2011 range in it.
