Staying One Step Ahead: Why I Am Using Uflora and Radiancy Before I Need Them I am in my mid forties now, and although I am not falling apart at the seams, I can definitely feel the early rumblings of perimenopause. The mood changes, the sleep shifts, the sense that my body is quietly rewriting the rules. Nothing dramatic, but enough to make me think, right, this is happening. And instead of waiting for the more awkward symptoms to arrive, […]
My First Month on Elevate Collagen: Why This Mid Forties Mum Is Now a Total Convert I have just finished my first month using Elevate Collagen, and I can honestly say it has surprised me in the best way. At this stage of life, with four children and a body that has done a lot of heavy lifting over the years, I am always looking for simple things that help me feel good as well as look good. This has […]
Dearest Jimmy – You Are Fourteen! Dearest Jimmy, You are fourteen years old and boy, you’re a lovely one! Fourteen years of the cheekiest, silliest, smartest, funniest, most loveable and talented puppy dog that you are and it barely seems possible that it’s been that long si ce you arrived, like a little super hero with your fist up (and back to back just to be a little bit awkward as always) in the living room just after I’d watched […]
Spring Garden Glow Up With Very! Over a decade after moving from a gardenless London flat to our family home in Norfolk, we finally bit the bullet and had artificial grass laid. The village we live in has clay soil and we tried and tried to grow our own for ten years but were always beaten – not any more! Now we can play football, and badminton, and do gymnastics and all the other sports that we (and by “we”, […]
The Boy at the Back of the Class – A Show Every Family Should See Over the Easter holidays, while also being knee‑deep in chocolate eggs and trying to remember what day it was, we took a trip to London’s Southbank Centre to see The Boy at the Back of the Class. And honestly, I’m still thinking about it. You know those rare shows that stay with you long after the curtain falls? This is one of them. It’s currently […]
Easter Holidays 2026 – Week 2 (and 3)! After the indulgences of the Easter weekend we rolled into week 2 (and 3, because the little two had an extra day and the big kids had a whole extra week) with plans for more of everything! More days out, more chocolate, more fun with friends and family… We had a couple of days in London staying at a Premier Inn for most of us while Florence stayed with her London besties. […]
Easter Holidays 2026 – Week 2! Week one of the holidays was spent trying to be slow but failing (happily) into days out, seeing friends, food, London, Theatre trips, cinema visits, cooking and then the big Easter weekend which if I’m honest, I probably did go over the top on with the chocolates and presents but you know what?! They are only little once right and I love it! We all had mega fun and now onto week two!
Top Car Service Tips for Family Road Trips The experience of taking a family road trip creates a special feeling which everyone agrees on.

Easter Egg-Stravaganza AT Pensthorpe – 2026! It’s been a while since we visited Pensthorpe, not because we don’t love it, but because school has stolen Posie and gone are the easy days where an annual pass saw us there every week. I miss that, but to fnd the silver lining, I can confirm it’s even more exciting when you’ve missed it! Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that, and to make a return visit during the Easter break […]
Wroxham Barns Easter Adventure 2026! Wroxham Barns go all out, every season, reinventing themselves to fit to the mood of the moment and it is so appreciated – we absolutely love the farm, the park and the dedication they show to making things spooky for Halloween, festive for Christmas and in the summer, oh the summer is just so wonderfully welcoming, with camping and glamping to run alongside all the regular fun that it’s hard to tibk if a better […]
