That photo is gorgeous, your Sabin has some serious skill and talent going on. Thankfully she has parents who appreciate it!
I am having a very zen, very quiet weekend too. I have been watching Faulks of Fiction (on BBC iplayer if you can get it), drinking tea, cooking, and relaxing. We rarely have 'at home with nothing planned' weekends, so I am making the most of it.
I did this last time, and definitely think I will do it again at some point, its awesome! I can't believe that was a year ago... I saw you post on twitter that you'd revisited it, and I was so looking forward to reading it :)
