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…
Days out with kids
Christmas display treats
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),…
It’s a winter wonderland…with added rain
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…
Blenheim Palace visit with a toddler

We’ve been out and about quite a lot lately at weekends, catching up with our online friends. One place we visited was Bucklebury Farm Park, near Reading. It’s not far off the M4, so really easy to find. It was…
Buses, rivers and geese
I hadn’t been to Oxford since pre-Christmas, but needed to do some boot size research at a shop there, so decided to make my first trip there with N. It was his first trip on a bus as we always…
Afternoon at the playground
Today was a lovely day, although quite exhausting. Â We had Rhythm Time in the morning which was quite quiet as 2 of N’s friends couldn’t make it due to their mummies going spa-ing!!!. Â As the day was beautiful and warm,…
