A hectic few days sorting around Quicksilver while Maris packs for her departure to Asa Wright Nature Reserve, www.asawright.org before her flight back to Scotland and the much loved Jamie and I pack for a trip to Florida to join Claire for Thanksgiving. 

I have time to catch up with my wonderful mam, who, with the help of my amazing dad, is slowly recovering from her fall and the beautiful Isabelle Etty who is nearing two months old.
