What a beautiful few weeks it’s been since my last ‘Siblings‘ post! I’ve taken quite a lot of pictures of these two, especially over our long weekend in Norfolk for Easter – which is where this photo in the rapeseed field was taken.

My kids adore anything with photos on, even though the photos on our walls have been the same for a while now they will often stop and ask questions about them or remember the days out we were on when they were taken. Athena has photos next to her bed and they play for ages with the photo magnets on…
