Going up, growing up...

A hasty phone photo, grabbed just as I got back to our house with Frieda and Simone after the preschool and nursery pick-up. 
Simone understands all about the magnetic attraction of stairs and is refining her climbing skills.  Frieda was an extremely helpful big sister: I don't usually pick them both up, but Marianna and Jack were stuck - M teaching a twilight session at a school in Corby, J in London to help set up the MA graduates' exhibition that he's part of. And yes - two photo exhibitions in one week for Jack...! He's feeling the pressure, but is excited too.
Anyway: we had some good playtimes, while Richard collected Eben for his weekly swimming lesson. All grandparental hands to the proverbial pump today.
