The first chapter in ‘The BFG’ by Roald Dhal is called ‘The Witching Hour’ and it really stuck in my mind after reading it as a child. It’s that time in the middle of the night when sleep won’t come and you just lie awake thinking and worrying… It’s not a good time of day! I know technically the witching hour is supposed to be mid night but I always think 4am is a far better candidate for the title! […]

This time last week I visited  The Harley Street Dermatology Clinic and met with Consultant Dermatolgist Dr Adam Friedmann for the first time. The reason for my visit? The two moles on my face that I have long disliked and wish I could get rid of. I wrote about why in this post when I got back from my appointment seven days ago. And this was how I looked before I visited the clinic and met with Dr friedmann again today for the second […]

Yesterday I was invited to come and visit the new Kiddicare Store in Enfield. It was my very first experience of Kiddicare having never before shopped there, either in-store or on-line. I’m not sure why really? It just wasn’t on my radar I guess. It is now! I couldn’t believe how amazing it is? They have literally one of everything you could possibly want for a baby or toddler. Under one roof! You can try before you buy, use one […]

Last month I wrote about the fabulous introduction I had to the supermarket Aldi. I had a fab time with some other bloggers getting to know all about the brand, what they believe in, how they operate and their amazing money saving deals! One of the ranges they stock is, of course, their lovely ‘Mamia’ baby product range! We’ve tried their nappies and we like what we see! We’re going to be doing a whole months trial soon which we’re […]

Last year Jonny, the children and I visited the Foodies Festival when it came to London. We had a beautiful day sitting in the sunshine trying new foods, attending work shops and having a glass of bubbly or two! It was a lovely family day out and I remember it as being one of the highlights of last summer! I was very keen then, to go back this year and delighted that I am going to be doing just that […]

I would say that when it comes to bags I probably have a few too many! I know my husband definitely thinks so! I love them you see and can never quite bring myself to part with any old ones.Since having children I have extended my collection further still as I now have a nice little collection of baby changing bags too! But… Unlike my regular bags, I don’t keep them if they aren’t very good! You see a baby […]

We live in a Victorian terrace conversion. It’s beautiful but oddly shaped and our stair case is a bit tricky in lots of ways. It’s narrow and steep then at the top there is a small landing before one step up which leads to the bathroom, kitchen and our bedroom then round the other side another little trio of steps leads to the children’s bedroom and our living room. It’s fine but it does mean we have a few stair […]

It’s true! The fabulous line up for the Lollibop Festival is in the midst of being announced on their Facebook page! For the past few days a new act has been let out of the bag and with a few more to come it’s definitely worth checking their page daily to be in the know before anyone else!! There’s more to come so do keep checking! And P.S, Early Bird tickets are still on sale by the way! I have […]

I love Mediterranean food and fruit with cheese and cold meats is such a lovely combination! So summery and also, for the likes of me, so simple to create at home whilst still being impressive both aesthetically and to taste! I have a simply divine sounding recipe which is jsut perfect for a balmy summer night and hopefully we will be having a few of those soon! I can just imagine eating this on the decking with a glass of […]
