2014 Week 31 Day 7 – Back to Millet’s Farm Maize Maze, as we were unable to complete the big maze last time, due to lack of time! After the maze, they of course wanted to ride the horses! What an exhausting day.
2014 Week 31 Day 5 – Off to Bristol today to meet up with new friends, whom we met a year ago on holiday, and have not seen since as they lived in Singapore. They are now back in Bristol which is an hour and a half drive from us, and a good excuse for […]
2014 Week 31 Day 4 – Today we all went to a farm centre to have fun in their corn maze, the Maize Maze, for which they grow a new design every year. I promised not to take my camera in and so at the car park I took a picture of Barnaby as he […]
2014 Week 31 Day 2 – We managed the bike ride today and even got to the shops for some supplies. Another gorgeous day. Another great time spent with the girl who seems to appreciate all this as much as I do! And then, once we had picked up the boys, we spent some time […]

2014 Week 30 Day 7 – Everyone knows how I adore this lil’ lady, and I think it is easy to see why. Of course, I adore her brother too, but I find him trickier at the moment. He needs so much stimulation that I am hoping he will be content at school. For now, […]
2014 Week 30 Day 6 – The day after the early morning before!!! I couldn’t resist driving by my spot and taking a picture again. It just isn’t the same now after those 12 seconds of madness! I have just heard that they may take the remaining three towers down, Didcot B, by controlled explosion […]
2014 Week 30 Day 5 – BOOM. Well that’s what I thought. No such luck. Not for me this far away. But you will see what I mean later. Meanwhile, I tried to sleep before getting up at 2.30am but I couldn’t as I was too tired as usual. It was muggy. Plus all three […]
2014 Week 30 Day 4 – Didcot Power Sation. Blot on the landscape, or part of the local heritage? When I first moved to this area I thought the former. Having lived here for 14 years, I have come to grow very fond of it, and so think of it as the latter! Tomorrow three […]
