The problem I've always found with diaries is when you're happily busy there's no time to write about it. So there'll be no details of Charlie's first camping trip at 6 weeks old, his first swimming trip with his cousin Sam or Philip's 2nd birthday party - but they were all great fun if a bit exhausting.

However last weekend was an event so significant I have to at least mention it - my brother's wedding. My little brother now officially has another lady in his life to look after him. Good luck to her :-) It was a wonderful event. A bit hectic with 2 kids but I managed to see most ceremony and hear all of the speeches. And then we had a lovely time visiting Glasgow a bit more and wandering back slowly through the Scottish borders.

Off shopping now - meeting Ed and Philip who've gone by train.
