I’ve been feeling like we haven’t really done anything recently. Of course we have, but it’s basically been work, chores, essentials, and not a lot else apart from pottering around the farm. So I was determined that today we would…
I love the way all our local villages round us have started doing a village fest rather than fetes. Â There’s been BloxFest for a few years which is massive in terms of attendance and the bands playing, while the others…
Yesterday (7th July) was Alice’s Day in Oxford. This is a day celebrating Alice in Wonderland, or Alice Liddell who the story was based on; there’s lots of events around the city, and there’s always Alice’s Shop to visit. I…
After a busy day out yesterday, today’s been more of the same with a few hours at at the Banbury Show. Â We went last year and the weather was amazing, so I was optimistic for today. Â Unfortunately it was a…
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…

Seems like ages ago now, but around the Easter holidays we’d been quite busy meeting up with various online mum & baby friends. The last occasion was a trip to The Forest Adventure Park at Tatenhill, nr Burton. A friend…
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…
