An unexpected surprise...

Unexpectedly Amy and I found ourselves child free this afternoon and with a few hours of time together as the girls had a play date with friends. Initially, I have to say we looked at each other and thought - what do we do now? This kind of time together is so rare, particularly as the girls go to bed later and later, leaving not much time for us as a couple. Time alone during the day without a club, activity or general family life is even more rare. Our chosen destination of lunch at Holkham Hall and a dog walk around the lake was perfect. Time together chatting, planning, holding hands, taking stock and strolling in the sunshine was simply lovely. We work so hard to and focus all our time into the girls, I did love this surprise couple of hours with my wife. We didn't even spend the whole time talking about the girls as we usually do! Talking of the little ladies in our lives - I have been beaming with pride all this week following two excellent school reports for this term, using words such as hard work, application, enthusiasm and great attitude. Are the teachers sure they are talking about the right children?!? Well done girls. Mummy and I are very proud of you and all your hard work. If we could only transfer your immaculate behaviour over to when you are at home, this would be great too...xx
