Would love to do it again.<br /><br />I do wonder what mum thinks about sitting there for 3 weeks............. It's such a long time to be just sitting.<br /><br />Sweet Birdy Love :}Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742003349610251189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-47478558765436117062011-06-02T00:44:06.649+01:002011-06-02T00:44:06.649+01:00Her eyes are so bright, her comb such a pretty red...Her eyes are so bright, her comb such a pretty red, and how gently she rolls the eggs beneath her.<br />julieJulie Whitmore Potteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12283540996942265818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-77994581967957315222011-06-01T23:51:55.981+01:002011-06-01T23:51:55.981+01:00Oh she's so lovely taking such care with her c...Oh she's so lovely taking such care with her charges - brought a lump to my throat!Chrissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09638424388530718289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-81234393949617399912011-06-01T22:48:05.612+01:002011-06-01T22:48:05.612+01:00Truly lovely!
