It's 4pm on Sunday October 14 ...

Cat
Camberwell - Evie (two and a half) is trying to teach the cat, Miska, how to use the cat flap. He knows really, I’m sure, but as we are stupid enough to open the door for him he waits by it until we do.

Packing
We’re packing boxes in the “crazy carpet” room ready for our move to a different part of the country. Ollie (six) is happy to be helping. By concentrating on the blue glass vase he is distracted from the bigger issues of new house, new school and new friends.

Seaside
My husband had to work in Worthing on Sunday afternoon. In spite of the rain, I packed buckets and spades and took the boys along too. Miraculously, the clouds cleared.

Village
We went to a model village on Sunday. The kids loved it. David kept trying to get into the models. At the end there was a mini railway. Dad is with David and Godfather Andrew is with Beth.

Shoes: 1
A representation today of my family, their shoes showing life, personality and also a link to each other. Personality is not only in the type of shoe but in the light, colour, position and scene. I believe we learn more about each other from the objects we own.

Train
My partner and our son, Joe, on the train back home to London from Newcastle. We were halfway through a three-hour journey. It was Joe’s first proper game of cards.

Park
This is my seven-month-old son, Howie, showing his Nanan (my mum, visiting us from France) how to have fun at the playground. Not sure she’s too convinced ...

Paris
This is an ordinary Sunday afternoon in Paris. But this is also a very special Sunday, the last one with us as a family of four, as another boy is expected by the end of next week.
