"Thank you so much for giving them such a great time and for providing
me with more than enough to fill the allotted time for the party! You
were wonderful with them all - very patient and relaxed, no mean feat
when there are lots of over-excited children involved! Amelia loved
it, as did all the others and thank you so much for letting Isobel
join in. She had said that she didn't want to do it but I think she
ended up enjoying it as much as anyone! We are just finishing her

cushion off and she has been hard at work on it all weekend!"
