Relaxing...

Hello and welcome

I was browsing at Mo's Digital store the other day and the minute I saw this image I just had to buy it, as not only does it make me want to smile :o) it also reminds me so much of my son Benjamin.

Benjamin loves messing about in the paddling pool at my parents house, which obviously a lot bigger than this one on the image, but like the boy in the image, Benjamin always wears his swimming goggles and last time we had the pool out, next doors dog, Ellie, jumped in with him hahaha, which is why this image is just so perfect for him.

His birthday is on Wednesday 
and I've made my card for my daughter to give to him.
