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 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 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?

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

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 […]
