Phew, the children are back at school! As much as I love having them at home it's great when they go back. I am one of those that you either call a Have-it-all mum (own business / children / live in the country) or a Do-it-all mum (continually juggling business / children / husband / home and not necessarily getting it all right!).

Either way, the summer holidays were lovely and not nearly long enough. There was a constant stream of children through our kitchen throughout the holidays, some I recognised, some I didn't. The pigs grew fatter, the lambs bigger and the chickens kept producing gorgeous big, brown eggs for our breakfast. And the puppy kept chewing the children's toys, my bicycle, the outside table, in fact anything and everything.

However we were still very busy in the office. You might have seen us in the Daily Express and Practical Parenting, amongst others, who both loved our children's gardening things. We are currently redesigning a new logo and tweaking our website (all will be revealed in due course). And we have been sourcing some great new products for the autumn, which we will let you know about as we get them onto the website.

Off to prepare for my meeting with the designers tomorrow.
