The Start Of The Autum/Michelmas Term 2025! As always, never happy to see the end of the summer holidays and send my children back to school but this year hurts a bit more than any other. It’s not just that they’re going back, it’s that Posie is starting and for the first time there won’t be any more pre-school days in my house. I’ve loved being a pre-school Mummy and ending that chapter, this end of an era, well… It […]
Summer Holidays 2025 – Week 6! And then it was over… The last week of the holidays was spent not exactly as I’d have planned, we had sickness bugs and colds and did very little but despite the slowness, we still had fun. Last meet ups with friends, lots of trips to McDonalds (three in total and I’m not even sorry), and park trips in the rain. Sad to be home from our Menorca holiday and sad that this was […]
Summer Holidays 2025 – Week 5! What a week! Marred only by the small fact we had to actually leave Menorca and come home (sob)! We enjoyed most of it on holiday and having the best time ever. Our hotel was so much fun for the children, with such lovely areas to sit and be quiet as well and the beach, which the hotel is basically ON, was just the best. Oh how we will miss the eating, drinking, being […]
Summer Holidays 2025 – Week 4! Well, a mammoth day getting ready, finishing up worky projects and getting the house in a suitable state to receive my friend coming in to feed the cat (as well as all the packing) and we were off to Menorca for our first abroad family holiday in 3 years! And boy were we glad to get on that plane – Eating, drinking, being merry, sand, sun and fun!
Summer Holidays 2025 – Week 3! We began the week already camping in Cromer, because we started the holidays on a Wednesday I’m doing our weekly diaries Wednesday to Tuesday which feels odd but here we are! So we went camping on Tuesday and had a fantastic time despite the camp site (as I have always known it being just “the camp site”) being run in a very strange way where tents have to be alongside the road and no […]
Summer Holidays 2025 – Week 1! A soggy trip to Southwold and a glamping trip woth friends to Wroxham Barns kicked off the summer holidays for 2025!
Summer Trinity Term 2025 – Part 2! The end of another academic year is more bitter sweet than ever because once we go back to school I don’t have any pre-schoolers at home with me. It feels ridiculously rapid that time marched us here and Posie is no longer a baby but going to be a tiny little school girl. It has broken my heart and made it happier than ever all in one fell swoop. I want them to […]
May Half Term 2025! I love the holidays, live for them really because I just can’t stand missing the children so much while they’re at school. I know that sounds nuts but this is me, I can’t be anyone else and after May half term this year I feel totally short changed. I had some teeth out just before, four of them in fact in readiness for Invisalign sorting out the gaps (one tooth had to come out due to […]
Summer Trinity Term 2025 – Part 1! This half term feels like it must be the quickest one in the whole year but I’ll probably say that next term end too. We came into it from Easter with some sunshine, we headed straight into Gram’s birthday, followed by Jimmy’s a week later and mixed in with sports and tournaments, dance shows, lessons, rehearsals, excellent parent’s evenings, play groups and fun with friends, we have arrived ready for a week of […]
Money Can’t Buy Happiness But… Money can’t buy happiness; we know that! It can’t buy you into, or out of, anything that would give you real happiness at any rate: Love, emotion, sadness, grief, stability of the mind, aggressions, addictions… It can’t pay for the existence, or removal of those things, and therefore, the statement is true. “Money can’t buy happiness.” But… It can buy you an ease of life which, in turn, can absolutely give a bit of happiness!
