Sweeter than ...

I don't know that things could have been sweeter than they were yesterday.   The weather was crisp and yet sunny.   The company divine and the five little girls in each others company melted hearts at every turn along the way. Clara, Olivia, Molly, Poppy and Lily.

There was a bit of a love story going on between these two for most of the day ... if you take a peek I'm sure you'll feel it ...

Clara and Olivia found each other as much fun as they did the guinea pigs to cuddle ...

Molly was good for a chat too for Olivia

Pensive Molly ...

 ... and Lily and Poppy just loved the cuddles and pats ...

That warm sun meant a layer or two could come off ... and Lily l.o.v.e.d playing under the big Peppercorn tree ... for one the games were fun and for seconds ... she is quite the little tree climber ...

Meanwhile Poppy's favourite part of the day ... well would you believe it was e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g ... she was happy from start to finish.

... and once we'd walked for miles and played for hours ... a rest in the orchard was called for ... lucky there was a seat that was just the right size!
