An Early Summer

The spring sunshine has encouraged a massive spring-clean in our house. We have dusted out the wendy house, polished the windows, shaken out the door mat and opened the windows. With this colourful-floral-birdsong attitude, we have embarked upon our Summer Range of goods here at the Little Present Company.

New in: children's swimshorts, towelling hoodies in fun colours and designs, and a range of outdoor toys to keep the little ones in the fresh air for as long as possible. With the newly mown grass (mmm the smell of summer!) underfoot, it is time for lunches in the sunshine and games of cricket and croquet and running races and... and... big fat siestas on beanbags.

Fingers crossed that this glorious sunshine continues for the rest of the school holidays. My daughter (aged 4) longs for a real pony but seems to be content with the Hobby Horse at the moment because it is soft and makes clip-clop noises; and my son (aged 6) is Sir Lancelot and using the wooden swords against me and the daffodils.

With love
Emily and Emma
