Just on to do a little bit of a woo hoo- it wasn't a fluke, L really is starting to walk And he's so pleased with himself, it's so cute. He's also started holding his hands out when things are "all gone", which is pretty funny to watch.

I checked out a reception place today, which i really liked, and the prices are great. But my SIL raised the point that as it's going to be a lunchtime reception there's no "view", so nothing for people to look at. So now I'm in a quandary, because I think that this place would be fantastic in all ways except for the view. It's not that it's bad, as the room opens up to a small garden, but it's obviously a reception centre, as opposed to an old house or restaurant. It's also where my yr 12 formal was held, although it's changed heaps since those days - no apricot taffeta these days I have the feeling that this is just the start of a long list of annoying questions, I can see why people elope...
