Finally, after a long wait, my middle boy has got his hands on what was our Spanish lodger's desk. He's been eyeing it up ever since we bought it ahead of her arrival back in October.

The new piece of furniture is particularly special since my middle boy shares my family's trait of constantly needing to re-arrange rooms. Oh but it always looks 'so' much better when it's changed.

Here he is, sitting working away on the rules of his artic version of 'Tally Ho' (his current favourite board game) which he designed and produced on Saturday afternoon.
