Hello,

still no gossip this end. School going really well, am on top of it all at the moment and enjoying working with my new class, they are lovely, a bit noisy but hey they are children, it's their right! Anyway, so Tim and I had some engagement photos done with our photographer this summer and they have been put on his website... it is really cringy looking at so many photos of ourselves but he did actually take some really good ones, as well as some horrendous jumping in the air ones... was definitely a bonding experience between Tim and I!! Very funny! The things we do in the name of love...! It has made me even more excited (if that is possible) about getting married, I know it is still ages away but we do need to start sorting things out now which is SO MUCH FUN!

Anyway, back to the here and now, Tim has been growing some sunflowers since spring time in a competition against his mum or who can grow the tallest and biggest sunflower. Well Judith (Tim's mum) grew really tall ones with tiny little sunflower heads at the top which flowered in July, and Tim's took AGES to even get taller than a metre which is ridiculous for sunflowers, but since September has FINALLY started to get sunny his have started to get taller and this week a flower grew!!! So above are a few photos of it, isn't it beautiful?!

We are off to Stratford tomorrow for a walk along the river and maybe have a bit of a shop, I love Stratford so much!

Chat soon, Gemma xxxx
