While, technically this is my photo-a-day for the 28th March 2014… I couldn't put it on my photography page, in case people actually thought THIS is what I do! As specifically requested by Darci – her and the freak cat (aka: her boyfriend!)

You know when you're just minding your own business and eating your pizza… and you get that feeling that someone is watching you?

There was noone awake tonight for my photo… so I went and woke up Perri… he wasn't all the rapt with the intrusion :/
Is there anyone in this family who won't poke their tongue out at me!?

Willow told me last night that she needed to dress like a woman from the 1850s today!! Nothing like a tight time line to get the blood pumping!
In the end, we did a not to bad job with the clothes… and pulled it all together with a classic Victorian hairstyle… phew!

She picked this top out herself… and has worn it every day since we bought it! … I told her it was time for the wash – so she washed it… and put it back on!

day SIXTY EIGHT | year FIVE | 2014
So a couple of weeks ago, my mum turned *cough*60*cough* and this was the first weekend we had had the chance to catch up with her since the big day.
As I did for my dad a couple of years ago, I spent the last couple of months scheming and colluding… oh, I mean organising and arranging… for friends and family to send me stories and letters and photos and memories which I then sorted into 60 envelopes to present to her for her birthday… and today she opened them <3
Thank you so much to everyone who helped make this endeavour the huge success it was… and to Xanthia and my aunt Sue for making and decorating the amazing cake!
Happy, happy Birthday, Mazz <3 <3 <3

Just what every eighteen year old girl needs – a sword
She stalked the front door and kept a vigil from the upstairs window, waiting for the courier to deliver this… that's perfectly normal behaviour, right?
