Today Bettany is ONE.
1. To snatch a quiet moment in the garden chatting with Audrey, who is as good a mothering mentor as you are likely to find.
2. Bettany manoeuvres herself until she is lying on the slide, hanging on to the top with her fingers. Then she lets go -- everyone gasps, but I can see her reflection smiling in the metal slide.
3. "That was a punishing day," says Nick. "Fun though." We calculate that we had 25 people through the door at one time and another -- how lucky is our Bett to be loved by that many people, and how lucky are we?3b. The crowd of fizzy wine corks on the shelf.
