QUOTE: ‘As I sit here looking out, the sun twinkles on the water in the paddling pool, a butterfly floats by carelessly on the summer breeze and my children are taking it in turns to wear a Nemo bucket on their head whilst the other smacks it with a plastic spade. I love summer.’

When your first child is born, in the excitement you momentarily lose your mind and buy one of everything. In every picture, the child is looking pristine, the colours are vivid and the white clothes are so sharp it’s like looking directly at the sun. The second child is wearing the very same clothes four years later, except now there are some unsightly marks and it looks like it’s lined the dog’s basket in between uses.
