I would like to thank Rebecca for sending in the photo of her 14 week old daugther Annabelle who was in Germany soaking up the atmosphere of the World Cup! We hope you had a lovely time.

July is here and the football has finished. Don't get me wrong I wanted England to win but I just didn't want to watch it every night and every match. My husband and son did not miss my daugther's first ballet performance and she was wonderful. She made me cry even though she was only on for 2 minutes. It was worth the long day and the very tired girl at the end.

Best wishes,
