She's walking, and completely loving it.

Ezra

Almost exactly a year ago, we went to a gig in Cafe Irie to see the delightful Rae Morris. This is where we were first introduced to Frank, the man that is Dueling Kazoos.
Since then we've been to various gigs he's arranged and a pop up art event in falmouth. The pop ups are great evenings, Frank ropes in lots of talented students and arranges various fun stuff, including CD swaps, baking competitions, henna tattoos, and there's the drawing corner, which is where I won a christmas drawing comp. This led to Frank asking whether I would be interested in designing some posters for him. After this and this he asked me come up with two posters for George Ezra. I'm quite a fan of George so I was thrilled to do them.

I went along to the Cafe Irie gig. Liam was away at training so my lovely mama took Queenie and I went along with one of our bestie's, Josh. We had a wonderful evening. Kezia's singing sent me into a bit of a spell. I picked up one of her E.P's and have been listening to it all month.
I confess don't know all that much about the ins and outs of music -when Liam and Josh get talking about melodies and harmonies it all goes straight over my head- but I do know what I like. And I think George Ezra is enchanting. His voice, raw and beautiful, froze the audience into silence. The words are so powerfully thrown out and seem to reach deep to my soul. It was one of those gigs that were so chilled that I just wished I could lay out, close my eyes and dream, as the music plays over me.

Poor girl had three injections on Wednesday

Summer is officially here. We have had sunshine every day and have absolutely loved it! We've played in the garden, taken our dinner down to the beach, shared BBQ's with friends, taken long walks across fields. Pretty much any activity that involves being outside. One day we drove over to Helston and visited a barefoot trail (I'll explain more in a future blogpost) which Queenie loved. If she's felt a little down with teething, or post injections, all I've had to do is sit her on the grass and she's instantly calmed. What wonder nature does to our moods. On those moments where we've had to be inside, the windows have been flung wide and the sun has poured into our little house. We are all thriving in this sunlight. Our little girls milky skin is darkening and her fair hair has lightened even more, making those beautiful blue eyes appear even more wonderful.
Oh and she's sleeping! All this fresh air has given her a huge appetite and tires her out immensely, so finally our Queenie sleeps!

Just look at that stance!

A whole week with Liam being home, she's utterly thrilled. She's standing loads and is five steps closer to walking. She's eating SO much, her favourites being yoghurts, honey pancakes, avocado and kidney beans. I'm so proud of how wonderfully she eats, no fussy eaters here!
