Lockdown Diary Week Eight! Coming into week 8 and I wasn’t feeling terribly positive. THE statement was made by BoJo last night which basically doesn’t change much (good) but does hint that it could soon and I for one am not happy about it. Sending 5 year olds back to school? Really… But they are 5, how will they socially distance themselves and sending year six back because they need to make a transition to high school… Frankly I am […]

Say No To Unsafe Schooling! On an ordinary day would you send your children to school if you thought they might be in danger? Of course not! I don’t actually think I know any mother who would say ‘Hmmm, a good chance they won’t be safe… Ok? Well, let’s give it a whirl shall we?!’ Because we are, by nature, the protectors of those we love and to do that would be the antithesis! We would see our children’s safety […]

QUICK WEBSITES BRING QUICK PROBLEMS LOOKING FOR A PROFESSIONAL WEBSITE SOLUTION The internet is a world unto itself and we exist as much there as we do in the real world. With that in mind, there is as much a focus on developing your business for the online customers as there is one who walks through your door.

Fun 2) TikTok is a FAB way of getting […]

DIY For Lockdown! I think a lot of us are partaking in a bit of DIY for lockdown activities and we are no exception. The good thing for us was that I often have these grand ideas of what I’m going to do with a room, buy all the stuff and then never find the time to actually do it so we had a lot of the things we needed already and now have been given the time to get […]

Lockdown Diary Week Seven! After a terrific weekend of celebration last weekend for Jimmy’s birthday it felt a little flat on Monday morning to be back at school and Jimmy did not cope with the adjustment from fun to work well. We had a bit of a meltdown on the first day of the week but with a promise of a 4 day week for the VE Day bank holiday Friday it soon got better. I think we struggle to […]

Win A coleman Octagon 8 Tent! This weekend for Jimmy’s lockdown birthday with an army theme we pitched our latest Coleman Tent in the garden and built an army base camp. It was great timing as we’d planned this already then found out that Jimmy and Florence both had been invited to join in with their beaver and cub groups for a remote camp in the garden with Zoom sing-a-longs around the camp fire! We might not be able to […]

Lockdown Diary Week Six! Six weeks, that’s a summer holiday’s worth of time that we’ve been home on lockdown and I have to say that really and truly, aside from the weirdness of not seeing Gram and other family, it has rather felt like a summer holiday in lots of ways. We have been happy and enjoying each other’s company while basking on sunny days in the garden – when we’ve been gifted some sunshine that is, this past week […]
