Hey Naomi, I'm sad you're not feeling too good at the moment, things will get better and you should NEVER beat yourself up about stuff, people make mistakes and mess up all the time – you are only human!
I only discovered your blog not that long ago and I read it the whoooooole way through over 2 nights (yes, i realise it was about a squillion posts over 3 years) because I couldnt get enough of your lovely photos and funny writing.
Have some snuggles with the gorgeously cute Kingsley and remember – you are a rockstar!
Hugs and smiles all the way from London, England
