Summer Holidays 2022 – Week Four! The week we had all been waiting for, Tenerife baby! We spent all of Saturday packing and getting ready for our first abroad holiday in three years, first ever as a family of six and were almost unable to contain our excitement as we got closer to Sunday, the day we left. It was nail biting stuff with Tui playing silly buggers at Norwich Airport over the past few weeks and we didn’t know […]
Summer Holidays 2022 – Week Three! We began week three in our tent in Cromer staying at my favourite site, Seacroft. There’s a pool and with friends we had a brilliant weekend splashing, more surfing for Florence, beaching, eating and drinking. What a treat and the weather gifted us a huge slice of summer too which was just glorious! We went to Amazona Zoo on the way home, played football golf and then came home to unpack, get sorted and […]
Summer Holidays 2022 – Week Two! Second week and we are well in the swing with a weekend family BBQ with Jonny’s family, some shopping for holiday, a little bit of rest and relaxation (I don’t allow down time often, ha ha) and a LOT of time at the beach! Jimmy had football camp Monday to Friday and Florence signed up for surf academy in Cromer meaning it was daily trips to the beach for us. Fine with me as […]
Suffolk Yurt Holidays! For my birthday this year I booked exclusive use of the whole site at Suffolk Yurt Holidays in Woodbridge. I’d originally just booked the cottage for us, but when I realised I could book out the 5 yurts in a package alongside the cottage, having it all to ourselves at an extremely reasonable rate, I roped some family and friends in for a party weekend to celebrate turning the big four three! I just thought oh why […]
Summer Holidays 2022 – Week 1! We kicked off week one of the holidays with a massive drive to Herefordshire and the Nozstock festival where we joined our lovely friends from the Cookie Crumbles gang. A weekend of kids going feral and having awesome fun with lots of freedom and loads of getting grubby ensued. It was hard work, as camping and festival life is with children, but it was also masses of fun and we loved being with our […]
Summer Holidays 2022 – Weeks -1 and 2! Welcome to my summer holiday diary for 2022 which is labelled rather strangely for the first weekly entry on account of the fact Florence broke up 2 weeks ahead of everyone else! We still had school routines for that first fortnight she was off but she still had fun and I had to mention a few of the bits we did as they are a part of our summer!
Last Day Of School – Summer 2022! Here we are in the blink of an eye and we’ve found ourselves at the end of the year already. Florence’s first at high school, Raffie’s last as a pre-schooler, Jimmy’s only one at primary school as the only Rocknrollerbaby rep and Posie’s last being able to be in cahoots with her brother – What a year which saw me with a high schooler, a primary schooler, a nursery goer and a baby […]
I’ve written before about how middle of the night awake times with babies create tensions and arguments between my husband and I. I think that never before children do you argue in quite the same way and the things that are said in the heat of moments when little sleep has been had, I find, can be thoroughly vicious in a way you would never normally be! You might speak terribly to the one person in the world who you […]
Family Planning! rocknrollerbaby June 29th, 13:31 http://adserver.adtech.de/?adlink|3.0|311|1072359|1|16|AdId%3D6699352;BnId%3D1;link%3Dhttp://www.askamum.co.uk(They love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting!) When I took Jimmy for his 6 week check a couple of weeks ago I was amused by the Doctor’s question about what I’m doing regarding ‘family planning’! Well, I said, not really any need to think about that for a few weeks yet, (poor Jonny) not after my type of labour! He consulted my notes, grimaced and said ‘Ah yes, of course, probably a bit soon […]
Feeding Giants In the Night Garden! rocknrollerbaby June 8th, 11:49 http://adserver.adtech.de/?adlink|3.0|311|1072359|1|16|AdId%3D6699352;BnId%3D1;link%3Dhttp://www.askamum.co.uk (They love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting!) After having what can only be described as a physical fight with Florence one morning this week I am beginning to wonder if I’ve breast fed her for just too long? I don’t mean we had fisticuffs or anything but I had to keep restraining her as she tried desperately to latch herself on. She’s strong both in her will and […]
