Very quick blog

.... so that certain people know I arrived home safely! Sorry - couldn't blog last night as I was so tired I fell asleep with the girls and never got up again.

So, the girls and I stepped off the path at the weekend, and very pleasant and enjoyable it was too. Got home yesterday around 2pm, only 10 minutes after Isabelle succumbed to travel sickness .... :-(

Shortly before leaving J&J's, I suddenly noticed the middle diamond out of my engagement ring was missing. Katy B had the excellent idea that I should unpack everything out of the car carefully in the dark, with a torch, so that I would see anything glinting. I totally forgot to do it. I foresee my first ever home insurance claim!

sorry about the diamond

Slightly more to this....the ring had three diamonds. Jo knew that the centre (largest) stone had a serious internal flaw but only recently it dawned on her that she had three diamonds, the main one representing our firstborn son - who had a heart defect and died - and two others for our two gorgeous daughters. So losing the centre diamond is not just a matter of insurance claims. In fact, it's all painfully symbolic.
