summer days and lazy ways

I’m back in the blogging world much earlier than planned as the house renovations are postponed for a few more weeks until we untangle yet more red tape!
Are you enjoying your summer? We are soaking up every single moment without having ventured anywhere special.
After the headiness of the end of term; lots of activity in [...]

try something different

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 [...]

I’ve always loved this. Joe loves Star Wars and because we’re on the journey of watching what we put in our shopping trolley, me and the boys often watch it.

Quite literally! Where does the time go? One minute I’m celebrating my birthday in late March, and then, I’m remembering my Mam’s birthday on 3rd April,  celebrating my sister’s on 4th April, and the boys are on their Easter break from school.

the things they say

My nephew, who’s twelve years old, has been staying over this week and he has a big issue with my one year old bouncy labrador, who is a complete nutcase. Alfie the Lab, thinks because he loves everyone, they love him too. (I’m going to get him a job as a Greeter at Asda!). Simon [...]

i’m crazy proud

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 [...]

my poorly boys

Life has been the usual muddle through kind of stuff this week.
John was smitten with a really heavy cold, I caught it (the kind that makes your head feel woolly!), and now both boys have it. So, they are in bed now, snuffling, sniffing and sneezing.
Looks like no school tomorrow for them both. Joe was [...]
