It’s an understatement to say that Edward loves water. Come rain or shine he’s literally scratching to get out the back door to his water table (best investment ever!).

Orla Kiely loveliness
As much as I love my iPhone I also love being able to pimp the outisde. I’ve gone through a fair few since I bought my first iPhone in 2007, although always stuck with either Cath Kidston or recently, Orla Kiely, covers.

How to make a cork sail boat
Edward is used to boats as we often travel by car ferry or catamaran to visit family on the Isle of Wight. Last week we managed a couple of trips by boat which Edward loved. He really enjoyed holding on to the side of the boat and looking over the side. He’s always loved water…
