I have two children with only a twelve month age gap. It wasn’t planned but you go with it. Sometimes I think it is the greatest thing as they play so well but other times it is such hard work.

it's nice to have a sibling the same age as you who you can relate to but then it's als nice to have a little baby sibling.

How far from the coast do you live? I probably live about thirty miles away from the coat and the nearest to us is probably Lytham St Annes although there is not much difference between there and Southport. my husband keeps saying we ought to consider living out the rest of our lives near the sea side but I would really miss living so close to all our family. This may be a consideration in a few years time because the sea side has always appealed to me and it would be lovely to walk along the sea edge each evening.
