At the moment they're up around 6:30am, by high summer it'll be around 5:00am!!!! But Rich is thinking about designing a special automatic door opener so we don't have to keep taking it turns to get up at stupid o'clock :) Bed times are the same - depends when the sun goes down. The nice thing is they put themselves to bed, we just have to pull the ladder up for them. At the moment they're going to bed around 7:45pm - in high summer it'll be around 9-9:30pm and in the deep dark depths of winter it's around 4:30pm! So lovely to know I've inspired you x ah thank you all for your comments!

She laid again this morning, so things definitely seem back on track.
