Saturday

This Saturday was busy but very enjoyable.

The day started early, as usual, but I had to be out of the house and helping out at an hour of Selkirk Prayer Day by 8am. This went well with Cedric managing to give Matthew some of the milk I had expressed. (Note - There was a time when I thought 'breast pumps' were things I saw in catalogues to be smirked at. - No more. They're the real deal)

The picture is of mum with Matthew at the car boot sale up at Selkirk High school. (For French readers of this blog, a car boot sale is when people try to sell their unwanted household items by putting them in the back of their cars or out on tables beside their cars)

Mum arrived by 9:30am and we had a lovley walk around Selkirk and cup of tea in the Catholic church hall.

By 1pm mum had gone to Edinburgh and Helen and Rory had arrived. (Helen in next pic) We had lunch and spent the afternoon together.

The next pic is of the little garden that we have. I tidied it up a bit on Sunday and planted some of the wee plants I bought cheaply at the car boot sale.

Finally a pic of all of the soft toys Matthew has been given so far. :0)

Thanks again to everyone who has sent him clothes and other gifts he is a very very lucky boy.
