Revoke Article 50 – Whichever Way You Sway We Need A Fair Vote! I’ve never made any bones about the fact I voted to remain during the referendum in the summer of 2016. I was voting, like everyone else, with very little understanding of what would happen if we were to leave the European Union and I based my decision largely on the fact that I didn’t feel equipped to decide anything else. I saw many good things for our […]
Intu Chapelfield For Mother’s Day! Don’t you at least miss the shopping? – The question most asked when I say we left London for Norfolk three year’s ago and haven’t looked back! And in answer I reply ‘Why would I choose travelling on a packed tube, so that when I emerge from the darkness onto an overflowing street, before fighting my way around swarming shops, I can buy nothing more than I could in Norwich?’ No… No I don’t miss the shopping. There’s actually […]
Happy Kids Dental Chelsea Supporting World Oral Health Day! On Saturday the boys and I headed into London to attend the launch party for renowned paediatric dental surgery, Happy Kids Dental, who have just thrown open the doors to their second practice in Chelsea. Their sister site in Marylebone tells us they’ve been doing something right over there and now they plan on bringing their forward thinking and thoughtful approach to their new site too. If you’re a kid in […]
Another day and it’s another #MeatMatters post from me only this time a lamb dish. This one is another quick make and with chilling time should only take around half an hour. It’s also super healthy and the vitamins and minerals in the lamb will do you as much good as the veggies I serve on the side. If this was a dish for me and Jonny I’d serve it with brown or seeded pitta but the kiddos won’t even […]
Tagliata Di Manzo Recipe – #Meat Matters! I’ve been making this Italian recipe for my family for absolutely years and it’s one I will always come back to because it’s super tasty (my husband says restaurant quality) and so easy to make – I long ago found it in an Italian recipe book but have tweaked it over the years and I think now it’s at perfection levels, even if I do say so myself without even a hint of […]
Thule Chariot Cross 2 – Review! I’ve wanted to have a bike trailer to use with the kiddos ever since we hired one when staying in the new forest although that one wasn’t particularly sophisticated it has to be said. It was very basic and not particularly comfortable for the children but it afforded us a family bike ride with two reluctant small ones and we loved the experience. I knew that on the market there were much cleverer models […]
Saturday Night Fakeaway Burger Recipe -#Meat Matters! There’s nothing I love more than a dirty burger takeaway but… They’re expensive and terribly fattening So… As part of the #MeatMatters campaign with Britmums and Simply Beef and Lamb I decided to share with you my fakeaway burger recipe which comes with all the taste of a good Saturday night takeaway but far fewer calories as well as being easier on the pocket! Around a fiver will buy all the ingredients you […]
Bechamel Quiche Recipe! My Grandmother was great and lots of fun – I’ve many good things to say about my dad’s mother as we were great friends but I have to admit that a cook she was not. I don’t even know if she actually liked food because when catering for a family get together and her table would always be bought in beige food. At the centre of everything would be a shop bought quiche. Every. Single. Time. A […]
The Worst Witch Comes To Norwich Theatre Royal April 16th – 20th 2019! It’s not often that you’ll find a theatre preview on my blog, I’m more about the reviews as you knw but occasionally one has to slip through the net, especially when Norwich Theatre Royal are doing such a magnificent job of inviting wonderful family shows to be played in our region. Later on in the year we will be getting Matilda The Musical which is a bit […]
Splash About New Baby Wrap And Happy Nappy – Review! I’ve been using Splash About Happy Nappies for a LONG time – in fact if you go way back on my blog you will see I was talking about them even when Florence was tiny. I remember thinking that they were quite expensive at a tenner each (as they were then) but noting that they did the job so, you obviously got what you paid for plus they look great, always have […]
