Half-term week is always pretty busy in the shop, and this time I had the added business of the Poundbury Textiles Fair (Dorchester) to attend to. But as luck would have it my brother was camping in Dorset this week with his wife and boys, so I was very fortunate to grab some special family time with them. After all, life's not all about work! Above is the view from my little tent. One of the best things about camping is eating breakfast outside in your pyjamas in the sunshine! My sister-in-law Claire's parents were also staying on site in their caravan, and Claire's sister + husband + children came to visit for the day too so there was quite a crowd!

My youngest nephew Christopher seems to like sitting in chairs the wrong way up

Joe, with his beloved Giraffy, is the middle one and a Man U supporter

And Tom (a Chelsea supporter) is the eldest,

But still not too old to suck his thumb!

Hope you too have enjoyed a super time with family this week xxxxx
