All I’ve heard all week is when is the right time to have another child or, have you got two under two? All in response to the lovely news that Kate and William have announced their second pregnancy. As the week has gone on, it’s got me more and more annoyed. My mum always told…
“A bear remains a bear – even when most of him has fallen off or worn away.” – Charlotte Gray This quote is especially true of my loved, old, bear. Teddy bears are magical creatures who provide as much love as they are loved in return. When the lovely people at What the Blazers…
I really, really, really want a new pram for this baby. The pram with its first resident Thinking about are old pram, it just seemed old-fashioned now. Even Mamas and Papas have stopped making them like this and everyone seems to have these high up type prams that look really cool. When I was pregnant…
It’s been a bit quiet on the blog the last week. There is a reason. I’ve been using much of my blogging time to read this. You will be glad to hear I have finished it now. Wow. What a book. I have been a big fan of Philippa Gregory since reading The Other Boelyn…
It’s only 15 weeks until Christmas, Sorry to scare you. For most of us, that’s only four, maybe five pay days.

There’s nothing better than picking your own fruit and vegetables for teaching children where food comes from. I realised this week that is about a year since we went blackberry picking. We are very fortunate to have bushes on the farm. If you want to go blackberry picking yourself, I think you are supposed to…
So it’s back to school time. I used to work at Clarks many years ago and I can only imagine what it will be like this weekend. Boo is back at nursery now. They have held a few extra days at the end of the holidays to ease them in after the break. Thank goodness…
This is one of my favourite ever desserts. I say dessert, some may describe it as more of a pudding but hey ho, it is… I make variations of this all year round. Even adding mincemeat at Christmas to give it a lovely festive feel. I hate sticking to recipes so, if you fancy adding…
Should seven year old children be taught sex education? This would mean Boo, would be learning this so-called ‘age appropriate sex education.’ in another three and half years.
