The children returned to school today. Only one more term to go until the summer holidays. This school year is speeding by. This morning I was worried as Annie-Mo was still making no improvement. In fact she seemed to be getting worse. Her ears were so sore she couldn’t relax whilst feeding. Our doctors surgery is brilliant and an appointment… Read more →
We enjoyed a relaxed day today making the most of the last day of the holidays. The weather helped out by opening up the heavens when we were about to venture out for a dog walk. We about turned and went back inside. Well, at least we tried. Annie-Mo visited the doctor today as she was still poorly. Apparently she… Read more →
Sophie with the keys to her new bicycle. She had a wonderful birthday filled with presents, yummy food and lots of her favourite people. Also it was the first Dragondrop bbq of the year. The weather was fine and Matt did a fantastic job cooking.
Little lady is a little miserable but seems to be on the road to recovery, thank goodness. Just in time for her big sister’s birthday tomorrow.
Annie-Mo is poorly. She is hot and bothered and sad and very cuddley. I think it may be her teeth again. Today, much of it was spent on the sofa with her, snuggling. The others also took the opportunity to cosy in too, which was lovely. Jay regaled us with some new jokes he has learned. Here is one I… Read more →
We had a lazy day today but also quite social. We visited the children’s grandparents and were treated to hotcross buns and pink wafers. Sophie was in her element as she loves pink wafers, and when the blue ribands were brought out I think she nearly popped with happiness. Felix slowly ate his own body weight in hotcross buns. When… Read more →
Below are some pictures from the first bbq of the year. The friends were lovely, the food was delicious and the children had a great time decorating eggs. What a brilliant start to the bbq season.
Sophie has outgrown her school shoes. I prefer to buy Clarks shoes. I am not sure if they really are best for little feet now a days, but when I was little and my mum, a chiropadist, bought my shoes, she always bought them in Clarks. She used to talk about the damage other leading shoe manufacturers did to growing… Read more →
Sophie loves the bars at the park up Harlow hill.
The children are winding each other up today. Each one is finely tuned to the others sensitive issues and is mercilessly agitating them and then complaining when their sibling reacts in an unpleasant manner. I have no siblings. I cannot understand why anyone would want to annoy, hit or be rude to anyone else. Apparently it’s all completely normal. Currently… Read more →
Today the children and I picniced with a friend and her boys on the Stray. The Stray is an area of grass measuring 200acres square running through Harrogate. It belongs to the local residents and as such cannot be built on or used for anything not community based. The Stray always must measure 200 acres so if one section of… Read more →
Today the children and I watched Hotel Transylvania. The story revolves around Count Dracula and his daughter Mavis who is about to come of age at 118. Count Dracula has a fear of humans and has built the Hotel Transylvania in the middle of nowhere to ensure his beloved daughter never has to encounter any humans and no humans can… Read more →
Matt is on a stag do, in Brighton. Whilst he ia away I am on child, dog, house, and food duty. Also it’s my friends hen do, so if I can, I would love to go and spend some time with them. As it’s partially a day event I can bring the girls along and escort them home when everyone… Read more →
Sophie dressing up as a flower girl Sophie and her friend after rollerskating
Although Sophie’s birthday isn’t till the 21st April the best time for her to have her party was Sunday. Ten little girls and I arrived at the roller disco for two hours of rollertastic fun. Luckily I had persuaded my lovely friend Belinda to help out as not many of the little ladies had skated before. Laden down by ten… Read more →
