Today was no ordinary day – it was Clemmie’s third birthday. (Sign from a shop window in our village)

Present opening and cupcakes for breakfast.

The best present was without a doubt the yellow scooter which had been talked about for weeks. It had its first outing on the school run this morning.

A birthday party for a handful of little friends at home in the garden. Another day of glorious weather – long may it last!

Playing in the garden but the beloved scooter was never far away. No one else was allowed to touch it and for once I did not implore her to share.

Happy birthday girl!
