I was beyond tired today, of the worn out and grumpy and tearful with it variety. Fran let me go back to bed. When I woke up, they were deeply embroiled in kitchen stuff. There was a lot of mess (which they tidied up; result!) There was a lot of hard work. There was a […]
In a jam – again.
I really don’t cook. I’m terrible at it, with a total disinterest in food and all the things like it. But I do, it turns out, quite like making jam. I’ve made it before and enjoyed it so when Persil sent me a jam making kit, I thought I would try again. It did however […]
Busy times.
The summer holidays are nearly over and before you know it, they’ll all be back at school again. It feels like it has been a packed holiday. Last week in particular was crammed with ‘stuff’. We went to visit my sister for the day because (aside from wanting to see them!) Fran had to go […]
Pollyanna in flowers.
I have a friend who will talk about ‘PollyAnna-ing’ a day, seeing the bright side in a day that didn’t go to plan. Sunflower. That was our day at Buckland Abbey this year. We love it there, it is a beautiful National Trust property which we always go to with lovely gardens, activities and walks […]
Kestor.
Another gorgeous walk in our home from home. Kestor is the first tor Max ever brought me to, the one that is centre if this beautiful place for me. It’s here I can look back on 20 years of loving and being loved and bringing our children to this gorgeous place. This year in enjoying […]
I'm glad I spent it with you.
Today was a ‘motherhood’ day. Ups and downs. Growling as I stomped around the house looking for a very lost kindle which eventually turned out to be hidden (in a very toddler manner) behind the radiator that is behind the sofa, growling more as I encountered the bedrooms of my daughters. That’s life. Mess, missing […]
St Patrick's Day Fimo Crafts
When Bene was just new born, I accidentally got my children to do St Patrick’s Day crafts a whole month early, thanks to baby brain and befuddlement. They’ve never let me forget it. I think they thought history was repeating itself today when I suggested a similar activity, but on this occasion it was just […]
Silent Sunday
Penguin Cake.
Josie still loves penguins and so her Fimo penguin cake toppers have come out for a third trip. I’m pretty proud of this one though. One more cake to make this year; Fran missed out so I have promised to make a Christmas cake themed to Fran-ness 🙂 Here is Josie’s though, all ready for […]
Shimmering Fimo Coasters
Last year I had to make a secret santa present for one of my very loveliest friends – and she doesn’t approve of cute, clutter or anything that isn’t practical. (I’m not totally sure that is actually true, but it was her stipulation at the time!) This was tricky – and meant I couldn’t make […]
