2013 Week 50

Obviously this time of year is busy with Christmas activities for the children, and this week started with Alexei and his infant school mates performing their nativity show. Alexei had the role of a shepherd and got into character very well, walking on to the stage bent over and heavily leaning on his crook … […]

2013 Week 49

YEY, I am up to date, finally. Phew. As it is so close to Christmas, I have mainly been trying to organise myself for that this week, but when Alexei had the privilege of bringing home Leo The Lion for the weekend, I was under instruction to take pictures of them both over our BUSY […]

2013 Week 48

It’s my birthday. This week starts with my birthday and I found out that I had a surprise coming – when you have 4 young children, it is hard to arrange a surprise as there is lots of organising to do and so I thought I should probably tell Paul this. He told me that […]

2013 Week 47

There are lots of bugs going round our village and many people are feeling poorly. We are all tired, but no sickness as yet, though the kids are rather pleased at my almost loss of voice. Still upset at the loss of Charlie and feeling under the weather meant that I didn’t take any pictures, […]

2013 Week 46

This week I escaped up to London for the day to look around the Ideal Home Exhibition. I didn’t realise that it would be mainly christmas exhibits, but it was fun to look around nonetheless, and gave me a few ideas for my forthcoming birthday (note the handbag big enough for a camera?)! And Christmas […]

2013 Week 44

I am still really behind with my diary, and I am concerned that I will be writing about halloween when everyone is thinking about Christmas, so I had better get a move on! We stayed in Scotland for a week in total and so the start of week 44 saw us happily being tourists! We […]

2013 Week 43

A lot has been happening these past few weeks, mostly good but mixed with some sadness, that has left me about a month behind in posting! So I will try to get back up to date as soon as I can. Meanwhile to week 43…. This week is mainly taken up with the marriage of […]

2013 Week 42

My husband said something really lovely to me this week: that he was happy with his life, even though he is working a little bit too hard at the moment. Having just set up his own business this year, that is a good sign! He asked me if I was happy, and I must say […]

2013 Week 41

This week has been taken up with birthday celebrations for a special little boy. Felix turned 4 which is quite possibly the most exciting age ever. Guess who’s 4? Kind big brother kicked off the celebrations by reading him a story! After dropping the big boys at school, I took the little two for a walk […]
