Willow’s first birthday had a Cupcakes and Champagne theme!

Lots of friends and family came down to Cirencester, for many the first time they had seen Willow.

The birthday girl enjoyed her cupcake, but seemed to prefer the wrapping paper to the presents!

Her dress matched mummy’s very nicely, but she was quite happy standing with Grandpa in the corner and watching everyone. I don’t think she had ever seen so many people in the house.

Vix at 37 weeks.

I am due to fly back from overseas a week or so before the baby is due, so hopefully he/she will not be in too much of a hurry to make an appearance!

Once I am home I’ll be there for Christmas and the New Year.

We are now all settled back in the UK, renting a place in Cirencester, which is a lovely market town in the Cotswolds.

It is very nice to be back in the UK, with all the convenience that goes with it compared to France, and there’s even meant to be a good chance of a white Christmas this year.
