Summer picnics
Now we’ve had a bit of sun and heat (it’s taken until May this year), it’s been the perfect opportunity to get out and have a picnic alongside lots of outdoor play. We don’t have garden furniture (not really got…

London trip: A Chorus Line
I’ve not been to London other than for work for a long time. And I can’t remember the last time I went to the theatre. Definitely pre-N anyway. I’d bought my mum tickets to see A Chorus Line at the…
Birthday party fun
So far, given he’s only 2, we’ve not got into the perpetual cycle of birthday party after birthday party. Apart from informal ones which are just piling into soft play or general play sessions, he’s been to his 4 year…

Introduction to Gardening

Boys and doors
Met up with a friend and her son today for a morning at ‘Baby Bounce’ and for a spot of lunch. The boys are only 5 months apart, but don’t see each other that frequently, so it was funny to…
