She didn’t let the side down, even in full length gown there was plenty of our ‘Bad Billy’ (as Annabel is known) on her wedding day, a title that came from her dance floor antics. Lets hope that she can still live up to her name now she is a Grimshaw – big congratulations to you both and thanks for such an ace day.

Sunny weekend approaching and think it will be a belter! We’re off to Southwold with Uncle Si and Uncle Iain for a picnic and seaside swim. Thought you might like to see some early morning snaps from our May camping excursion to Loves Lane in Ashwell. Proof that you don’t need to travel far for a relaxing break, just 15 mins up the road!

Thanks for the crazy Christmas rush. We’ll mostly be wearing slippers and wellies now and hope you get to put your feet up too! We’re back in the studio on the 4th January and will be dispatching orders promptly on our return. Lots of love and best wishes for the new year –MWAH!

A Christmas baby, little Elodie Grace joins the Sussex clan – just fantastic!

The bump is now a baby and what a delightful little creature he is too. Congratulations to Ysella and Rich on the birth of ‘boy’ (if it was good enough for Tarzan…) on 30th November. Name to be confirmed. So excited for you!

This is ‘Bowie mad’ Dean at his surprise 40th on Saturday – there aren’t many men who can get away with a skin tight lycra jumpsuit and platforms – but you rocked!

We’ve been pals for over thirty years and miraculously these two managed to get pregnant within two weeks of each other. I’ve been hassling them for a photo opportunity for months and they finally relented. I’m going to nail my colours to the mast and predict a girl for Laura (left) and boy for Ysella (right), more reliable forecasts and name suggestions are welcome.

Happy birthday Dad. Thanks for bringing me up to be batty enough to swim in the bracing sea with you at the weekend – once submerged, it was bliss. x

Hello to all those with reassuringly achy limbs who ran the Bedford 10k yesterday, we certainly made the most of the free tea and cake afterwards. Thanks Adrian for the pre-race pep talk and setting the pace! It has been a few years since my half marathon days, but thankfully I managed to get round in 50 minutes, didn’t want to set the bar too high for the Standalone 10k in October (yeah right!).

This just arrived in the post from the rellies who are holidaying in the Lake District. They know I love this gingerbread and the packaging is delightful too. A great example of ‘beauty in simplicity’, a bit of greaseproof and a lacky band, job done.
