I have some kind of epiphany each year around my birthday. It has been happening, ooo for at least the last ten years and it involves my skin. I really should start some kind of anti-ageing regime. That’s what I plan to do each year. I saw on the Timehop app that three years ago, … [Read more…]
Like any normal family, we don’t like to do anything normal so this year, we had our bonfire night on November 4th instead of the 5th. Maybe Guy Fawkes had planned to do it a day early himself but couldn’t gather enough gunpowder. We did consider fire works but with animals and a sensitive daughter, … [Read more…]
Back to normality today. Work for me, preschool for Boo. Half term is over. Usually I am breathing a huge sigh of relief but this time I have quite enjoyed it. We started off the week with Boo going to nana’s house so I could do a good clean. I had been ill the week … [Read more…]
The hall way can often be a forgotten part of the home. A place where you walk through but linger little. So I was ill a couple of weeks ago and my parents came round to help me look after Boo-which as any parent will tell you, is a nightmare when you feel under the … [Read more…]
Bents is a garden centre about three miles up the road from the farm and seriously, it is one of my favourite places. I have been dying to go and see this year’s Christmas displays since they opened a couple of weeks ago but, knowing my birthday was coming up, I waited so it would … [Read more…]
We are very lucky to live where we do. There are so many child friendly places to visit that are right on our doorstep. This week we visited one of our forgotten favourites-Walton Gardens in Warrington. Once part of a larger estate belonging to the famous brewing family, Greenalls, Walton Hall and it’s gardens are … [Read more…]
Did I ever mention how much we love Christmas? When I say we, I mean me but I think Boo might be learning my Christmassy ways. I’d say it starts early October, my festive fervour and lasts until I cave in and put the decorations up. Recently, the Christmas Boutique asked bloggers if they … [Read more…]
I am still uneasy with Halloween. My post last year about not being comfortable about the begging aspect of trick or treat explains why but there are activities out there that don’t involve any trick or treating and we took part in one this weekend. I wrote in the summer about or local pick-your-own farm, Kenyon … [Read more…]
Christmas. The season on good will to all men and deception of your husband. Oh yes. I am already trying to get away with buying (more) Christmas tat. Without wanting to bore you to tears, I to a discount warehouse near where we live for things like toilet roll and kitchen roll. It is really … [Read more…]
We have some beautiful old trees at the farm. So when Hubster told us there were some oak and horse chestnut trees in one of the back fields, we decided to go and investigate. It has been an unseasonably dry September so we trotted off in regular shoes rather than wellies and took Rosie the … [Read more…]
