Last month we were waiting for a special delivery, from the stork.​

There was only one photo that I could have linked up for Me and Mine this month. My special family with the most special girl.​

Our new little niece, Yasmin lu, our new little cousin.​

Richard asked me, when I finally came home after 3 days ​of soaking up some precious first cuddles, (I will be forever grateful to Rich for running around like a mad man, sorting the boys so I could support my sister) whether I felt like I'd had a niece or something more. I honestly feel that I have experienced the most magical thing. Seeing a person being born, sharing that incredible moment with 2 people I love so much, that yes, she does feel extra special. 

She is the closest thing to me having a daughter of my own and I have put myself forward as chief party organiser and on the list of helpers for wedding dress shopping!

And this weekend my sister and brother in law, asked me and Rich and my brother and his wife, to be her godparents. What an honour.​

I hope you have all had lovely family times this month. Join in with us for Me and Mine and show us you and yours!​

And if you would like to see some more gorgeous boys head over to Lauren at Real Housewife of Suffolk. 

Link up your photos with us. If you haven't taken one yet this month of all of you, here's your excuse!​

You can see how Me and Mine started here.​ We have a birthday for a big boy this month so I am sure our May photo will feature party hats and cake!

I am back with my niece in my arms for the weekend.​

In a few hours, Uncle Patrick will be landing at Heathrow (for one night only) and there will be two excited nephews waiting to greet him in arrivals. 

In the meantime, we are napping, feeding and changing. We've enjoyed 1 special bath with 3 pairs of hands and lots of cuddles. Oh and some snaps of the garden whilst we wait.​

I can imagine wonderful woodland fairy parties in the next couple of years in this garden!​

Happy Weekend everyone. ​This is going to be a super good one.

Psst I am shortlisted in 2 categories for a national blogging award. ​I would love your vote in the Photo and Crafts categories. Voting is open until the 12th May, so don't delay, vote today! Vote HERE.

Just before bath time we went out for a mile tour from our front door.​

We live on a small estate of about 100 houses which looks like it should never have been allowed to be built. ​An island of brick and stone in a sea of green.

We want to boys to appreciate how lucky they are to have sheep and horses as their neighbours so went to meet them over the fence!​

In the field behind our house live 2 horses, a white lady and Penfold, a magnificent black beauty. Our rickety fence is 4 feet high so they can peek over for strokes. But yesterday about 30 sheep arrived! They make the dogs go wild but are a lovely sight in the morning. ​(Our bedroom is the tall window in the middle.)

The farm behind has 5 little business units (I dream of taking one over as my home from home office one day) within it's grounds and we let the boys walk in the driveway but only in the turning area even though they were desperate to see the tractors up close.​

We drove up a road called Canada Coombe to the top of the hill and met 2 very friendly horses, a few chickens, pigs and some loud donkeys! It felt like a treat to be out as the sun was getting low in the sky and they got to splash in some puddles.​ 

Sometimes, there is no where better than the British countryside. ​
