A two week trip back to the UK has been the highlight of the past month for me. After the oppressive city heat of Toronto, slipping back into the more moderate climes of home was very welcome indeed. It was a jam-packed fortnight, with lots of catching up with friends and family, including a trip to Hampton Court Flower Show with my parents

My nephew Jack played the part of Mr Brownlow in the Year 6 production of Oliver at The Vineyard School.

My nephew Freddie (the blonde one) and his team mates Mina, Juan and Claire represented The Vineyard School in Richmond at a borough tennis tournament… and won!

Had an amazing night out with my Stepdaughter Lily her boyfriend Fred, a group from Champneys including the owner Stephen Perdew and his stunning wife Isabella.

The School Prom/Dance is something we’ve picked up from the states and how I wish it had hit these shores when I was at school! Amelia had hers this month (she’s the one in the middle in gold). How beautiful do those girls look?
