Today, 20 November, has been declared Universal Children’s Day by the United Nations, and is marked by events in many countries. Not all do it today, choosing days that suit them better – the US, for example. I Googled the day but could find no reference to a UK date! So I decided to mark it in my own, personal way.

I’m sharing with you a picture of my children, on one of the best days of their lives, and of mine. I won’t tell you any more about them, other than to say that I am very proud of my daughters. No doubt you can see why.
