Crochet having rather taken over as my quick hand occupying evening craft of choice (I do want to do more knitting but it needs more thinking about) I’ve been learning to make granny squares from a rather fabulous book called 100 Bright & Colourful Granny Squares. I like this book for lots of reasons (although […]

Centerparcs review – pottery, high wires and … relax….
Wednesday was a pretty busy day. First of all our eldest three went off on a the aerial adventure; Max and the big two have done it before but it was new to Amelie. Apart from the bit that always looks to me like it shouldn’t be that scary, she was fine. Both Max and […]
Centerparcs Review: a perfect week part one
We have been fans of Elveden Centerparcs for many years now, taking our first holiday there when Amelie was just a year or so old. We’ve been back there in groups of friends and alone, including once as a week long, main summer holiday many times since. It never fails to be a good week […]
#PinItForwardUK – My love affair with Pinterest.

I’d intended to get going on a 40 jobs projects, along with a ’40 nice home making crafts’ project, but that hasn’t […]

Jeanette and I have ‘known’ each other for years online, since I first frequented the home birth yahoo groups in my elusive hope of a trouble free baby birthing. She and I have since become even more closely linked after mutually losing our […]
Sunday Stitches
Yesterday (before I succumbed to the cold from Hades) I went on a workshop to learn some pretty knitting skills with Debbie Abrahams; she’s a bit of a knitting hero of mine, as lots of the squares from the survival blanket of 2010-2011 came from her books. It was a lovely day, designed to publicise […]
A New Beginning Looms
Having rather looked forward to celebrating PoPs 10th birthday, I was in a forest with not much signal for the big day. So belatedly, aside from the rather fetching new look I gave the blog last week, I bought I should say 'happy 10th birthday, little blog of minThey've grown up rather. Lot, those Puddle […]

Guest Post: My Quest to Be a Travel Blogger
