Pip and Posy at Blenheim Palace! Last week, for the start of half term, we were very kindly invited to hang out at Blenheim Palace and having not been before, but taking a look at their new Pip and Posy themed playground on their website, we couldn’t wait! The palace is huge and the things to see are so varied and vast, it meant we had to be really decisive over what we wanted to see so I asked a […]
May Half Term 2025! I love the holidays, live for them really because I just can’t stand missing the children so much while they’re at school. I know that sounds nuts but this is me, I can’t be anyone else and after May half term this year I feel totally short changed. I had some teeth out just before, four of them in fact in readiness for Invisalign sorting out the gaps (one tooth had to come out due to […]
Summer Trinity Term 2025 – Part 1! This half term feels like it must be the quickest one in the whole year but I’ll probably say that next term end too. We came into it from Easter with some sunshine, we headed straight into Gram’s birthday, followed by Jimmy’s a week later and mixed in with sports and tournaments, dance shows, lessons, rehearsals, excellent parent’s evenings, play groups and fun with friends, we have arrived ready for a week of […]
Norfolk Tulips! We visited Norfolk Tulips this year for the first time! I was very organised and put a reminder in my phone for the minute they were to go on sale. I had an idea of the date I wanted (Gram’s birthday) and I went in prepared. I was lucky and got through straight away so that we could all go and visit and help raise money for their charity while getting to take pictures in the fields. It’s […]
Zip-Through Towelling Hoodie From Boden! We spend a lot of time on the beach in North Norfolk and I’ve always found a towelling hoodie to be the perfect slip-on for the kiddos at the end of a sandy day in the sun and surf. The big kids were gifted, many moons ago, two different ones from Little Bird By Jools, a green one and a red and white. I loved them matchy matching in them and they lasted so well […]
Great Bean Bags For Summer Garden Fun! It’s beginning to be sunny and I am desperate to make my garden look presentable for the summer season. Of course, with three boys (yes, I’m including Daddy in this), the grass is looking pretty manky after long winter months of playing rugby and football on it and the space which could be a lovely place to sit is looking rather bleak. It’s a point of disagreement for Jonny and I. He thinks […]
Money Can’t Buy Happiness But… Money can’t buy happiness; we know that! It can’t buy you into, or out of, anything that would give you real happiness at any rate: Love, emotion, sadness, grief, stability of the mind, aggressions, addictions… It can’t pay for the existence, or removal of those things, and therefore, the statement is true. “Money can’t buy happiness.” But… It can buy you an ease of life which, in turn, can absolutely give a bit of happiness! […]
Dearest Jimmy – You Are Thirteen! Dearest Jimmy, You are thirteen – a teenager, wow! I am bowled over that 13 year’s have slipped by and you’re now a big strapping lad who plays rugby and cricket and absolutely throws his all in to every sporting endeavour always. Watching you on the rugby pitch, literally giving it your all despite being smaller than most of the other players, fills me with both pride and worry. It’s been a year since […]

GlassesShop For Summer! Buying sunglasses with a prescription isn’t as easy as popping into a shop and picking them up from the shelf – as well as the inconvenience of not simply being able to buy what you need and have it immediately, there’s also the cost that’s involved with any kind of prescription glasses.
