A girls' weekend in Ireland: When Toot (Flynn) met Toot Sweet (Margaux - pronounced toute suite!); and giving the Mums some time off.

As much as I had been looking forward to time away from family responsibilities, it was great for Margaux to meet Flynn and Co. Apart from Margaux, I have never met such a chilled out, smiley baby. Oh, he is just SOOO cute!

There was a little bit of healthy trepidation at the start before two of them got on like a house on fire, which was great. Margaux was very clingy though, which surprised me. If I was out of sight for more than about a minute she got uncontrollably distressed.

There was one afternoon, however, when Margaux had slept and had her lunch that she was perfectly happy to spend some time with just Jonathon and Flynn. This was brilliantly timed, as Bron had organised for us to have a facial and manicure... ahhh heaven!!

It was a wonderful escape for us to natter and debrief and have in-depth conversations and catch up - the way we had planned to do initially. You know those friends who you don't see for ages and then, when you do catch up, it's like you never left? Bron is one of those special people, for me.

Having been completely blissed out, we headed back home and relieved Jonathon of his duties. What a champion!
