When a run is very, very almost sold out even before the press performance and anyone has had a chance to give it the thumbs up then it’s either one of two things: The play is so well-known and popular that it has a devotee of fans who would follow it wherever/whenever or the theatre company performing have an impeccable record! So when the play in question has never been performed on stage before I think we have to assume […]
A while back I found the perfect farm for an Easter treat! Just before Jimmy was born Florence, Jonny and I took a trip to Willows Farm Village in Hertfordshire and had the most superb day! The sun was shining and Florence had a ball bouncing on the giant castle, taking trips on the old-fashioned fair ground rides, playing in the sand pit (when I say sand pit there’s a few and they’re quite extensive) and meeting all the animals!

We’ve been busy doing lots of Christmas crafts this past week and been having so much fun making cards and decorations! One of the things we’ve been making are some rather special Christmas cards for the Grandparents – We are actually really rather proud of our creations – even if we do say so ourselves!!

(They also look super cute wrapped up too!) Unfortunately the little towels he had been using, which were just plain white ones, are really too small for him now so we’ve been on the lookout for a bigger one. We also wanted […]
Thinking of toys I remember from my childhood and there are a few stand out ones which always spring to mind. If you think back to your play grounds and friend’s back gardens I bet you’ll remember the same toys I do because there are just a certain few which were the best and we all knew it! It’s not really a surprise then that some of these toys are still on the market today! One of the most well-loved from my […]
