Poor Natalie has caught the chicken pox. She came out in spots at the weekend, but did not seem too bothered by it until Sunday night. Now the spots have gone all itchy, and she has a temperature and sore throat as far as we can tell. She is very unhappy when we cover her in calamine lotion, but between bouts of feeling really rotten, she still runs up and down the garden squealing in delight at the cats and has been enjoying going out in the sunshine.
