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 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 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 […]
