Shadowy leaf

Thought the colour of these leaves was vivid, beautiful, vibrant and felt lucky that because I blip I notice much more of natures offerings on dog walks and so stopped to appreciate the shadow of the flower on the purple purple leaf.

Woke up in a sugar low after last nights flapjack fest and it was raining so no tennis lesson. Went to see G who is very excited about being able to drive again next week and made me an exceptionally good omelette for my breakfast. I went to the gym, I am definitely an addict now, feeling twitchy if I can't fit a session in. On the plus side my bingo wings have virtually disappeared and I have very impressive guns but Santa Claus would still be envious of the padding around my middle.

Heidi came out of school ten feet high as she was made star of the week for showing lots of interest in class activities and trying her best. We went to ballet after lunch and I walked the dogs with Jennie whilst the girls twirled around the studio. It was a full house at Janes for Nct tea as Lucy, Hugh and Hector were joining us too. The lovely sunshine meant the 6 children were occupied for hours alternately jumping on the trampoline and making beautiful houses for snails. I had loads of cuddling time with baby Hector, he is just delicious.
