Afternoon tea at The Delaunay and other London eateries
I’m terrible when I’m away for a weekend break or a holiday. So much of the structure of my day revolves around food, and when I went away for the weekend for my 40th, we certainly made the most of…
Toys to keep once kids have grown out of them

Alternative Christmas nativity play and characters
Before N was at school I often heard rumblings around this time of year, about the Christmas play. But it wasn’t always the nativity which you would expect to see. No, the nativity had been extended to encompass any type…
School Days – confidence and Children in Need
This week has been a revelation following last week’s keen-ness on reading. That’s continued but a love of writing seems to have appeared as well. Or maybe it’s just because N has spotted a toy chain saw he really wants…
