The radio silence this summer has mostly been me working my way through a pit of mental health issues that I felt too ashamed to write about. I’m probably not ready to do so yet, but perhaps it is more appropriate to start blogging again and allude to the ways I’m trying to manage them […]
Racing for Life.
I keep saying it’s been a funny few weeks here and it has. Not that it matters especially, other than that it has made me think very hard about trying to take better care of myself inside and out. Annoyingly that – and the general lack of time that our life now involves – means […]
Just me and him. A #summerdayout
It’s been a funny few weeks without time or opportunity for blogging. Somethings shouldn’t be blogged perhaps, at least not while they are happening. In and among all of that, we’ve twitched our working life and Max has gone back to employment, leaving me to run our business and rather a lot of the childcare […]
Blogger Day Out: It’s a rotten smelly life!
Last week Amelie, Josie and I had a lot of fun down at the Pineapple Dance Studios filming a dance routine to celebrate the release of the new Anni film on DVD. With a home full of keen dancers and divas, I had a feeling it would be a popular day out and I was […]
Cobbled step and sandwiches.
When I am old, (older) And you are grown, (more so) I’ll remember the day we sat on cobbled step, (warm but crowded) And ate sandwiches while killing time (how much time is left, I wonder?) The man on the tightrope, (balancing) Had a microphone and I thought, (musing) That back in my day they […]
Fifth Birthday
We had a good day. There is always a conscious group effort to be happy in his birthday, not sad. What would be the point, after all? We went back to Anglesey Anney this year. The weather had threatened to be really awful, so we didn’t make big plans and then Josie came down […]
Peppa Pig's Golden Boots.
Last week Bene, Josie and I had a bit of a half term treat thanks to the Peppa Pig team who invited us to go and watch the new Peppa Pig 10 year anniversary episode at our local Showcase Cinema. Obviously Josie accompanied us only to be part of his first ever cinema trip and […]
A day at Twycross Zoo
There are photos of a hot sunny day in 2000/2001 in our photo albums (yes, that’s right, back in the days when photos were PAPER) of our eldest 2 and my brother on a day at Twycross. Back then it needed 3 adults to manage 2 children and Rich counted close enough 😉 I remember […]
A trip to Narnia.
We’ve not had snow here in our town. The line of settling snow stopped 10 miles above us and we only got the tease of flakes that didn’t stay. It isn’t quite winter without snow; last year never felt right because it never even seemed to get cold. Today I cashed one of my family […]
Another little evacuee.
A couple of years ago Amelie managed to sneak in on an evacuee day only a couple of weeks after joining school. Today Josie, otherwise known as Ivy Wilson, visited Stibbington to do the same day. From spam sandwiches (she woosed out and went for jam) to an air raid and having to write with […]
