1. The Girl Effect – I’ve just read Hills’ brilliant most recent eyechai blog – ‘help girls.it matters’, with my girl Beth. Please read it too, and raise awareness by joining the girl effect blogging campaign. The Girl Effect is a refreshingly up-beat celebration of information sharing – with life changing consequences. Truly the internet at it’s best…

Sneaking decadently back into bed with Joe after waving the children off to school… blissful (especially in our dreamy re-decorated bedroom) My replacement wedding ring – made again for me by friend and jeweller extraordinaire Kerstin Howard.
