My lovely and very much missed friend, Nicola recently came to stay with her hubby Ivan and gorgeous baby son Samson. In fact, the timing could not have been much worse as it was actually the day we moved into the Barn and it was a mad day to say the least. But, Nicola was over from LA for two weeks and this was the first time I had seen her for two years, and the first time that I would get to meet Samson.

The move paled into insignificance, the boxes could be unpacked anyday, anytime. We threw them all into one room and cleaned up like maniacs in preparation for their visit. It was fantastic to see them!

Jess was so adorable whilst Samson was here, she became all maternal again and very loving towards Samson.

I love this picture so much! As you can see Samson adores Jess just as much as she adores him!

Samson also adored Nemo - although I have to say Nemo was sooo scared of Samson it was unbelievable. Nemo has never met a "small person" before and really didn't know what to make of Samson so decided to bark and run away......

Love you Nic, come back soon xx
