Yes I had a baby recently and no, this is not her (you may catch a glimpse of the little cutie in my Stories if you’re curious). This is me as a child and I find this picture so representative of my current state as a new mum - at first glance, it’s cute… ift.tt/30Z6Mtv

What a perfect day for a @petershamnurseries lunch! The canopies literally raining flowers 💐 🌹 on us and on the dainty food, and so much sunshine I got minor sunburn. Can’t believe it took me so long to go back to Richmond Park, one of my favourite L… ift.tt/2FKJJrH
