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…
Today we joined one of N’s friends at a soft play place in town for her 2nd birthday. N’s never really that fussed about soft play. He tends to head straight for the things he has at home or are…
Day 3 of Advent saw us going for a trip to Milton Keynes to see the Christmas displays. Last year N was too small to really understand and wasn’t that fussed (plus it was really busy being on a Saturday),…
Today we had our trip up to London to meet up with a couple of school friends and visit the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland. The weather wasn’t quite as wintry as would have been nice (clear blue skies would have…

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),…
