What a Difference a Sleep Makes

This morning both Isobel and I got out of the bed the wrong side.

I was tired and emotional and Isobel was just tired, too tired to get herself to sleep and too tired to let me rock her to sleep.

So we went for a walk in the sunshine. I walked for 2 hours, she slept for 2 hours. The things we saw that made us happy:

People hiring row boats on the river;

A gondola pulled up on Twickers beach by the White Swan;

Children playing in the park;

Adults sleeping in the park;

Isobel smiling in her sleep.

Then we came home to play.
