Did you know that the Queen celebrates her birthday on the second Saturday in June? It’s a bit of a vague date as it’s not her real birthday.

Are you enjoying the Bank Holiday weekend? We’ve escaped London for a few days in the country and I was really happy to have a new book to take with me to read. I love to read but have to admit that my brain is usually a little frazzled after a day with the kids…
