The mane, tamed

Charlene finally managed to rule Maddy's crazy hair.

Something we've singularly failed to do over the last 16 months.

Mini Me

Need I say more?

That's what happens when Kate's in charge of getting herself dressed in the morning.

(We've been granted a weekend's loan of Layla's 'Je t'aime' jumper - a sell-out hit in from Kidsen which meant Kate had to rush out and buy her own statement top).

Viva Italia

We've just come back from 2 dreadful weeks in Marche and Umbria, where Maddy really showed the Italians how the Brits behave abroad.

She starts off nice enough:

... but then gets bored of the camera, and treats us to the Paparazzi death stare:

... fuels her rampage with a banana:

... washes it down with a Coca-Cola (which is Italian for 'Coke'):

... gets on the beers with Dad:

... stuns the locals by streaking across the Italian countryside:

... narrowly avoids being locked up by the local policia:

... and then hides the hangover behind her over-sized pink sunny g's:

Phew. What a fortnight.
