Fairytale underdog ending… please 🙂 Just ‘cos i know my dad will cry either way, but i’d rather it was happy crying! We’re forever blowing bubbles – and all that. 😕

Today we got a lawn. Excellent stuff and definitely educational to watch it being laid. Girls bombarded mark with questions about it, so i’m sure it must have been useful.
