22nd April, as most people (especially in the blogging world), were aware, was Earth Day. Yesterday -and beyond – we were supposed to think about how we treat Mother Earth. We celebrated it with planting lots of seeds and such for the allotment and the garden as we chatted about what Earth Day means [...]

Hmm, yes, it’s that time again. Another birthday, another year. I had a lovely lie-in and was woken up with cards, presents, a cuppa and my boys singing ”Happy Birthday to you!’
It happened. I am now officially 44 years old. And the remarkable thing is, I don’t feel a day over 45!
For all our birthdays [...]

Everyone is still not well.
One day it’s Harry, then it’s me, then it’s Joe. The boys have been off school three times in two weeks. Joe is off school today. It’s one of those viruses which you can feel fine after a couple of days, then feel awful, then feel okay, then feel awful again…and [...]

Lots of yummy food; which included buns with Lego coloured frosting, a Lego cake (this turned out terrible as I was [...]

For me anyway. John kick starts all my boys birthdays. I see this as my official start to Autumn. I adore Autumn for many reasons but I love the Autumnal colours of just about everything, changing wardrobe, the cozy, warm woollies, I have an excuse to just knit or bake, planning Halloween and Guy Fawkes night. But most [...]

Cards, cake and candles were on the menu for today.
Happy Birthday John!
John had a long lie in, breakfast in bed – croissants with homemade strawberry jam and a huge mug of tea. All surrounded by a sea of cards from friends and family. People text and phoned him and some dropped by to wish my man [...]

My boys are huge Lego fans. Joe is annoyingly imaginative with lego. While the rest of us are thinking about what we might create with the multi-coloured bricks, he’s already got something working complete with wheels, moving parts and spinning bits. I guess if I filmed him, speeded up the footage, it would look really [...]
