Prince Charles





Julian reminds me of Prince Charles in these pictures. This is our yard. We have a deck also (I was standing on it to take these pictures.)

Julian dug all the excess bricks out of our garden. Our £5 Compost bin is posted within 35 working days (this is how things work in England!). But I think I will buy Julian a wiggly wigglers worm kit. It's expensive, so if anyone out there knows if worms freeze and die in subzero temperatures, please let me know before I buy it. They're cold blooded of course, but does this really protect an animal from freezing?

Julian is off to New York this week to leave me with the baby shower preparations. I discovered a terribly cheesy but quite ingenious website - it emails invites and tracks RSVPs. Check it out! Betty or Ossie's Baby Shower
The designs are terrible - this was the best one - and I am not too keen on the baby Target plug, but the idea is good. Tick tick.

So, I am a bit nervous about having the responsibility of providing enough materials for people to decorate their own cupcakes with, but it should be fun. I don't really know what people do at baby showers, so I was thinking lots of champagne could alleviate the boredom for everyone (except me), and custom treats are always popular. I have made it only a 2 hour event incase it gets tired.

By the way, at the top is one of my favourite pony images - not retouched and it may not make the final select, but this project is finally off the ground. Enjoy.
