Seeing Zia Maria (and her baby in hiding) in Oxford.
She took us to this wonderfully tranquil and beautiful cafe run by a mental health NGO.
It's right in Oxford but you would never know it.
Meanwhile, Seb joined Ben at "footie camp" for 3 hours every day. In case you are wondering, that's some kind of crazy chip in the shape of an "O" that Seb has placed on his finger. I assure you that healthier food was also consumed. They were hungry.
Yikes, please no girly girl...
Sebastian assumes the correct pose for eating an ice cream on a hot day.
Sophie wants to grow a moustache. (Phew, no girly girl afterall!)
The annual BBQ/summer party at the St Pancras Cruising Club.
Where they have a plastic model canal system - complete with locks - for children.
Sophie joins the hoardes of commuting Londoners.
We have long adored Quentin Blake's work, so what a delight to find a hoarding devoted to his zany, lovable art. A mischievous schoolboy.
A mummy dressing her poppet.
The dads look pleased to be together and despite their expressions, the girls (Amara - just a couple of months younger than Soph and ever so bright/ "eveillee") got on smashingly too.
It was an utter treat to discover that our week in London overlapped with Wendy Carter's 5 hour trip across the capital. So she got to hang out with 3 Wedge women at once (RW was the photographer)!
This clip ("Sophie's free ride") took 22 minutes to upload. I kid you not. But it is worth it.

I have always loved Quentin Blake! I was very excited to see the new "Time for a Rhyme" feature in the September Storybox book, illustrated by non other than Quentin! http://www.storyboxbooks.com/ The new feature "Time for a Rhyme" presents a read-aloud celebration of poetry and art for children and publishing these pages, StoryBox supports the International Board of Books for Young People (IBBY) , a non for profit organization working to defend every child's right to read.
