Emma

This is @EmmaDurnford.

She might be cross with me for using this as my 365 for today. But I hope she isn't.

I am involved with a fabulous charity that supports the neonatal unit at St George's Hospital in Tooting which did so much to save Little Dottie's life when she was the smallest of little Dots.

We are lucky enough to have a little garden at the Chelsea Flower Show this year, virtually everything for it has been donated by lots of very generous people. (You will be seeing more of this before the end of the month!)

Today we had a photo-shoot involving five of the "graduates" of the unit ranging in age from 2-12.

Emma kindly gave up her time to come and take photos properly while I generally got in her way and snapped around in the background.

Things we learnt today....the expression "never work with children or animals" was coined for a reason!....but we had a ton of fun, and enjoyed seeing some very special children smiling!

Thank you Emma. x
@nicolaeastwood Obviously I am furious ha! ha! I haven't done a selfie yet so this has resolved this. Actually I only like the pics of me WITH camera - so thank you, B&W looks really nice as well. It was a great morning and finished so well with some lovely group photographs. To reiterate your comments - First Touch is a fantastic charity for St Georges hospital neonatal unit... I'm about to post my 365... it may be the same subject!

@emmadurnford ....phew - would have been awful if you'd stopped speaking to me at this point! Can't wait to see your shot! x

@nicolaeastwood I'll post the one I 'tweeted' earlier but will copy you into my top 9 tomorrow afternoon (and there's another 25 I'll put on a disc). What a day and what lengths will parents go to, to entertain the children!

@nicolaeastwood I find Twitter a bit scary!

Wonderful shot, wonderful comments, so much to be thankful for I would say about both you and Emma and your efforts and giving. Super wonderful both of you.

I can see you have a very serious camera! We all recognise the closed eye expression! Good on you Nicola!

Emma is a "real" photographer and has a "proper" camera, flash, a shiny reflecty thing for portraits and everything! Thank you for your comments!

Love the story and the happy looking Emma with camera.
Chelsea that's fab, I hope I get to go this year, Hampton I've been to on a regular basis but not Chelsea so far.
