Christmas Holidays 2024! Christmas over already, doesn’t it just come round so quickly as an adult?! When you’re a child it takes forever just to get through each hour in December, and the magic has been in full swing for weeks here – just how I like it! And now it’s back to school and work and oh isn’t this the boring bit! But boy did we have fun! Here was our Christmas 2024!
Dearest Florence – You Are Fifteen! Dearest Florence, You are fifteen, and wow, what a grown up girl you are! I remember turning fifteen so very clearly, and feeling quite grown up myself, but in truth, you are way more mature than I was at the same age. I could never have owned the poise and grace that comes so effortlessly to you, and I never knew anything of the hard work, determination and care you put into everything you […]
Michelmas Term 2024 – Part 2! Back to school for the last part of the Michelmas term and it’s been plays and sports and all of the festive cheer in the run up to Christmas!
Halloween Half Term 2024! What a blast the last week (and week before for the big kids) has been! We may have got off to a rocky start but we made the most of it hence forth and had so much fun picking pumpkins, having days out, seeing friends and enjoying our time together. My Father in law came and helped Jonny put a shower over our bath, we hosted a fantastic Murder Mystery evening for the grown ups and […]
Michelmas Term 2024 – Part 1! Seems like 2 minutes ago we were going “back to school” from the summer and now we’re already half way throigh the first term. Madness! The big kids obviously broke up a week earlier than Raffie and Jonny (much to their chagrin) but now we are officially on the Halloween Half Term! Florence picked up a prize for her drama at prize giving, got the lead in the school play (Antigone), and has been […]
Dearest Raffie, Now You Are Seven! Dearest Raffie, Our most special seven year old, and seven seems so big yet it feels like only minutes since you crashed into this world, after many hours of trying, out of the sun roof. You were born that Monday morning, after many hours of fighting it, and the world became a much better, much sunnier place as soon as I saw your face. Your face was the one I dreamed about years ago, […]
The Start Of The Autumn/Michelmas Term 2024! I’m not going to lie, I’m pretty bloody pissed off that it’s back to school. I know my kids need an education, and I get that real life has to resume, but this year is the last for me having a pre-schooler. It’s the end of an era and if I could delay that a smidge I’d really rather. Plus, I LOVE having them home. I am allowed to say that, even amongst […]
Summer Hoidays 2024 – Week 6 (and a bit)! I can’t believe the time has disappeared so quickly and the children are back to school tomorrow! We had SUCH a good break, the bug kids have been off for a day shy of 2 months and Raffie just two weeks less than that. It’s been BLOOMING GLORIOUS! We didn’t stop for the last week, kept up the momentum with brilliant days out to the beach with family, trips to Woburn […]
Summer Holidays 2024 – Week 5! How we’ve sped our way through week 5 is anyone’s guess but here we are, with only one more week (and a tiny bit) to go and I’m so perplexed at all the posts from people saying “thank goodness”, and how long it’s been, and how they are champing at the bit to get the kids back to school!? Frankly I’d have then home ALL the time because I love it! It foes feel […]
Summer Holidays 2024 – Week 4! Well, what can I say about week 4! The sun shone, we had a gorgeous little mini break glamping at Wroxham Barns and we just loved seeing friends and having fun. This was a fantastic week which saw us all smile lots (despite getting bitten a LOT from the mosquitos as if we were, in fact, in the Med and not Norfolk after all)! We don’t need the sunshine to have this much fun […]
