Our sweet Isabella

Since acquiring a class of pupils in September I have barely found time to eat and sleep, never mind pick up my dear sweet camera.  All changed during half term break when on Friday when I spent the afternoon in company of my beautiful baby cousin. Gosh I missed the Canon. One day, I promise to spend more time with it again.
