Dear Jemima,

Hi Mima,we are back from Menorca and not happy to see so much rain YUK. Glad the port op went OK. Daddy has gone to get our new inflatable dinghy and asked if your port is on the port OR starboard side of your body LOL(laugh out Loud)! We are going to call the dinghy Skipper, maybe you could come for a ride sometime. I would love to come and see you, Mummy says it wpould be best to come on my own as my sisters can be very naughty sometimes, what do you think? Have you seen H2O on Nickelodeon at 5pm, its about 3 girls who turn into Mermaids when they go in water. Mummy says me, you and Francesca are the Stoneygate Y3 mermaids. Let me know when I can visit OR if you want to come here for a playdate.
Love Fifi
Hi Mima
What a great photo of you looking delighted with your signed photo. I hope you are staying tucked up and away from this horrid rain which I don't think will ever stop!! I'm not buying any flip flops this summer just wellies.

See you very soon, lots of love, Lynda xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Jemima!!! LOVE your blog, we are in Sussex a the moment but we will see you next week when we get back. Rachel and Isla are both desperate to see you and Emily ....especially Rachel wants to know about what puppy to get! Because her Daddy has promised a puppy when she gets rid of The Wig!! So you and Emily need to give her some advice.
Today, Isla won a teddy (called Cuddles) at the Ditchling village fete and we are now just about to go the the village barn dance! hope you enjoyed your McDonalds yesterday. Lots of love from Alison, Paul and the 2 troublemakers ....! xxx
Hi Mima
I cannot believe you have had a signed photo from DSD, that's fantastic! I really can't wait to see you, please let my mummy know when i can come and visit. We are going on holiday on Saturday 28th for 2 weeks, so if not able to this week, then hopefully when i get back. I will send you a postcard from France and bring you back some French goodies! Lots and lots of love, Amelia Ellis xxxx
Mima
How happy you look in your new photo - v exciting about DSD although Thomas and Rebecca did have to expain it to me!
Now that I have read how much you eat I think you and Thomas could have a competitiion. Thomas is a real gannet but could you beat him?
Sometimes he asks what is for lunch only half and hour after we have eaten it!
LOL, Helen, Jon, Thomas and Rebeccaxxxx
