A Week at Home (Part II)

and then Friday arrived, and with Friday.....

a new girl

Horatia

Horatia introducing Simba to Juniper or Juniper to Simba - we're not quite sure which... but what is immediately apparent is that Simba ADORES Juniper - as most do

Hero to Juniper (who's admonishing her) "What do you mean you've never ridden it?  That's why it's here, isn't it?" 

This girl has brought with her a whole new level of energy.  Juniper and I feel that the adventures are only just beginning....

A Week at Home (Part I)

This week began in a fairly quiet, low-key fashion.  Lots of  rain, various family members succumbing to a seasonal lurgy, and of course building work with it's noise and dust, oh the dust......   In the midst of all this Juniper went about her business in her usual self-contained way.  I've come to realise she's a very restful girl to have around.   She quietly gets on with things and is very much a little homebody.  She's also very mothering.

Juniper and Chili adore each other

Taking Hero under her wing (sort of - Hero's not convinced by Juniper advertising the bathroom-in-progress as the current place for spas!)

Happily creating and modelling (beautifully)

Looking up daffodil fairies in a book - Juniper loves reading

Juniper's also very precise in her requirements and dress.  She knows exactly what she wants, and likes to be neatly dressed.  She's stylish - how could she not be? - but I do feel with her that neatness of appearance rates very highly with her.  She'd also like to learn to knit!
