Wroxham Barns Easter Adventure 2025! At £12 (for anyone over the age of 3), this all inclusive ticket to the farm and park at Wroxham Barns is one of the best value family days out you’ll find! For your entry price you will be invited to enjoy all the regular fun on the farm, with feeding animals, grooming ponies and diving into the soft play, as well as unlimited rides (and smiles) in the fun park, which includes crazy golf. […]
Cricket/Grasshopper Costume – Home Made! It’s coming up to Raffie’s “mini beast day” at school. So, in half term, he, Posie and I created a Cricket costume for him to wear. The brief is basically “come as a bug” and seeing as all my children have an insect for a middle name, we had to go with Raffie’s for Raffie Rocco Cricket! We took an old Hello Fresh box and laid it out flay before drawing on the shape of […]
February Half Term 2025! February Half Term is oftena. Funny one isn’t it, while I welcome the time off to be together, the weather isn’t great and doesn’t make it feel inviting for lots of days out and being busy as is my usual wont. We’ve had a mix of being busy and out for the day with down time at home. I’m more inclined to let us settle into nothing much when it’s grey, cold and raining but I […]
Lent Term 2025 – Part 1! Christmas came and went in a flash and then we headed into the Lent term which felt like we had eons ahead of us before we’d reach half way through when we began it. Yet here we are… Half way through the Lent term, half way through the whole academic year in fact, and with brighter mornings and later evenings it’s not feeling so bad that we’ve ploughed like a steam train to get […]
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 […]
