Pottering Along Nicely

Had a fun, fairy relaxed day yesterday. We all went off to the garden centre to get more bird food, and investigated signing Emily up to a weekly art club held in the next village along. Followed by a long wander through Twigmoor Woods - Emily loved showing Daddy all the fairy dens and hiding places, and the lake where she paddles. Back at home we pottered about, thinking up names for the hopefully-soon-to-be kittens - the lady at the RSPCA apparently remembers us from when we rescued some orphan hedgehogs last autumn, and has promised that we'll be first to know when the kittens they're currently looking after are ready to go, which will probably not be until after the weekend. We've decided to have two so they're company for each other (and so if necessary they can defend themselves better against our existing two, lol!)

Today we've hardly seen Emily at all, as she's transformed her bedroom into a large tent and has been happily playing with barbies, ponies, angelina clothes and goodness knows what else. Which has given us a chance to press on with some work. It was our financial year end on 31st July, and we've got lots of ideas for refining the business over the coming months. Just need time to put them into practice now! The Press Assocation have now taken us on for a 12 month contract for the foreign magazine. She sent me a copy of what they said about the copy we provided, which was very complimentary. It's a big thing to have a foot in the door with the PA, so hopefully this will lead to more writing work to complement the retail side of the business.

Off to browse for a kitten basket and toys now!
