N’s generally a really friendly child, or he is once he’s got used to people. I think it’s helped that he’s been around lots of people since really young. As a baby we spent a lot of time out and about with NCT friends and at baby groups. Then from around a year old he […] Read more…
This week’s living arrows photo is after N had picked one of the remaining wild cloves we have in the garden. He does love picking flowers – he’s not so strong on the names, but it’s nice that he appreciates different flowers and plants. Read more…
While I no longer play sports anymore (aside from doing a bit of swimming), I do love to watch the big sporting events on tv.

I’m astounded today for Trendy Thursday. As always I’ve been stocking up in sales and buying the next size up in readiness for next year. Although N has been growing heightwise recently, he’s still (according to standard sizes) an age 3-4 in clothes, or a 4. So I’ve been buying age 4-5 or 5-6 depending […] Read more…
Last weekend we were at a bit of a loose end which is always good when you’ve got a full day free that’s full of sunshine. Seeing a friend on Facebook was also looking for something to do, we decided to join up and head to Compton Verney for another visit. After only 2 visits, […] Read more…
I mentioned the other week that my brother and I had done a car boot sale. Neither of us had done one for a while, although I do occasionally drop in for a bit of a nosy round in case I spot books or games for N. But we needed to start clearing out our […] Read more…
