Now N’s been walking for some months, he’s getting more adventurous and confident about his movement. Sometimes it’s all a bit amusing as he decides to try different actions. We’ve had the ‘soldier/can-can type, kicking up the legs in front…
N is obsessed with feet at the moment. Babies and feet – they do seem to go through a phase of this. Not so much his own feet. Although he is partial to pulling up his trouser legs while he’s…
Following the Jubilee bank holidays last week (poor attempts by us to take part in local village festivities due to living inbetween two villages – although I’ve been informed there’s a commemorative mug for N down at the nearest village),…

Worryingly I think N is showing even more traits like me than he was before. He’s always enjoyed flicking through books and is getting more obsessed. I’m not sure whether that’s like all toddlers, or whether he’s turning into a…
We love meringues but if you just want to make eton mess it’s easier buying meringue nests. Make your own 2 ingredient microwave meringues
