All the Small Things

Over the past few days I've put up the Christmas tree, decorated the poplars in the garden with fairy lights and done Christmas shopping. I love this time of year and everybody seems to be in a good mood...

But nothing makes me happier than sitting on our patio at home, after a long walk with my boys, watching them cool down in the sprinklers while the beautiful African sun sets in the background. Summer, two dogs and a cheap sprinkler - it doesn't get better than that!

Paddington and Baloo are constant reminders that the biggest pleasures in life really do come from the smallest and simplest of things:)
