We have had speaking parts in various places this week... Rosie had to say "We have dressed in traditional Indian clothes." Holly had to say "We are using sugar, water, and milk powder." Daddy had to say "Ladies and Gentlemen, will you please be upstanding for the Bride and Groom", and Mummy had to go to Exeter to give an hour long presentation on why she is fantastic to a bunch of professors and doctors.
