Summer holidays have been a bit more special with my Nephew Harrison helping out after his work experience earlier on in the year! Today, we had two more little helpers—Betty and Mimi—who came to assist Nanny in putting out our new Jellycat arrivals. Of course, they couldn’t resist taking home an Amuseables Bubble Tea and Little Freddie Sausage Dog! 🧸💕
