I’m off home to Australia next month with my little daughter Rosie to see my family and shoot the hush winter catalogue – and I can’t say I’m looking forward to the flight too much.
We did it earlier this year when Rosie was just under a year old and, although she was very good on the first leg between London and Singapore, she was not quite so well behaved on the Singapore-Melbourne trip.
We tried our best to minimise the disruption to our fellow passengers (which was more than the guy snoring in the seat behind me did!) but I’m sure they were all cursing us under their breath. So, sorry!
Anyway, we had bought this cute little outfit from a great company called No Added Sugar with the word Perfect across the front for her to wear when she saw her doting grandmother.
I was so embarrassed putting it on after she’d been anything but for the past few hours. I was expecting one of the other passengers to come up to me and say "You’ve got to be joking, haven’t you?"
They’re great clothes, though. Great for your own kids, but also good presents for other people’s. It's just that I should probably have got the one that says Hell Raiser instead…
