Times flies...

Twenty years ago yesterday - I gave birth to my first baby. A little girl.. who had thick black silky hair and navy blue eyes. She was a contented baby - hardly cried. I was so in tune with my new offspring, that I got up often just before she started mewing at night, when she wanted feeding or looking around for a feed or a cuddle.

As a young lady, she liked using a duster and polish (whilst helping her Great Nan). These days.. dusters and polish and housework are far from her mind...

She has always had a quirky individual fashion sense. I like that. Although these days she isn't often seen wandering around wearing a straw boater...or her Nan's slips!

But that's ok. At twenty, she has blossomed into the most amazing, creative and loving human being. And I love that about her. I'm proud to call her mine.
