Minnie got upset when I dropped her off at nursery but by the time I was at the door the tears had dried and she was giggling with Zara

When I collected her one of the key workers commented on how Minnie is with books. She said she picked up a book and took it away to a corner and sat babbling away as though reading it, and turning each page individually. She said how advanced that is for Minnie's age proud mommy. She really does love books, to the detriment of any other toys - books win hands down every time

Pasties from Cornwall for dinner.

Snug, wine and book - a winner of an evening
