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 […]

2013 Week 40

Wow week 40, that seems like the final stretch of the year is here! Luckily, our weather is STILL amazing. We are all happily enjoying it. It was a busy week, too busy for my camera until the weekend. Othello Live (amazing, amazing, amazing) and Grand Designs Live (interesting and fun and prompting my mind […]

2013 Week 39

The weather has continued to be stunning for Autumn, even if some days have started cold. Because of this, despite another busy weekend, and with sore heads from the night before, we decided we should fit in a family walk and enjoy our gorgeous countryside whilst the weather remains clement. So, a visit to the piggies […]

2013 Week 38

This week started off so cold, that it seemed as if summer were already a distant memory and whether or not to turn the heating on was a main conversation topic! And then the sun came back to pay a visit, and stayed. The heating stayed off and coats were put away once again. Yey. […]

2013 Week 37

It is obvious that our summer is over; the weather has really ‘turned’ now with a chill in the air most apparent in the early mornings on our way to school. There has also been rain. Lots of rain. But, it is September, so I guess that is what’s expected, but I had been really […]

2013 Week 36

Finally, the return to school and the kids were very happy to reunite with friends, and Barnaby even said he was looking forward to maths games on the netbook! Alexei is practicing his pose for a future modelling career perhaps? I put this photo in just to remind myself that sometimes these two can get […]

2013 Week 35

We enjoyed the glamping last week, largely due  to meeting new friends. Camping this week was all about old friends and hanging out together with lots of fun and games. Meanwhile, Willow carried on getting help wherever she could find it.Felix chose to be buried in the sand, and wouldn’t get out! Willow, as ever, wanted […]

2013 Week 34

So our first morning of camping and I managed to make some pancakes, which went down a treat in the beautiful countryside.   We barely had time to eat them before joining the rest of the guests in a guided tour of the farm. The farmer was so relaxed with the kids and let them […]
