Marsdens Devon Cottages! Florence has surfed all summer long and been in the sea as much as she’s been out of it. But to be a surfer in Britain you have to have a hardiness in your passion because obviously, though we’ve had some glorious days, they never last long and if you want to do it all year round then you need to grow some scales (and invest in a really super duper wet suit). Now here where we […]

Dearest Raffie – You Are Two Years Old! Dearest Raffie, You are Two years old today! As I lie in bed writing this at quarter to six in the morning I am listening to you sniffly breathe next to me – you never sleep in your own bed but that’s ok because itvs the loveliest sound in the world and I love you being close! You are still a baby really – with your tiny self and lack of hair […]

Askamum love my blog, ooo-errr how exciting! I’d heard while pregnant the hair that would ordinarily fall out naturally stops doing do and waits until your baby has been born before shedding. It certainly seemed to be the case for me as my usual thin and shoulder length hair became thicker and longer while I was cooking my children and it looked positively luscious; I absolutely loved it! I’m left post birth with hair that is longer than it’s been […]

Men For All Seasons This morning I read a Tweet written by Charlotte Edwardes, a The Sunday Times features writer, interviewer and assistant editor. She Tweeted regarding her recently published article whereby she recollects a double thigh squeeze, or, as it should be called, a grope, she received at the wandering hands of our PM Boris Johnson back in the late 90s/early noughties. She says he simultaneously did the same thing to the woman the other side of him. He of course denies […]

People have become heavily reliant on digital devices which power their lives. Around the world, it’s becoming increasingly common for people to put huge amounts of money into getting the latest laptops, smartphones, and other tools, and this trend doesn’t look like it’s going to stop anytime soon. Of course, as a big part of this, once you’ve bought something very expensive, you will want to make sure that you look after it, ensuring that it lasts for as long […]

George At Asda Is Tickled Pink For AW19! I’m feeling a bit bereft for time with George at Asda this week as for the past couple I’ve attended events with them, the first to see the new Tickled Pink collection in collaboration with two leading breast cancer charities and the second to check out their Autumn/Winter range for 2019! Loved it. On both levels! So firstly the Tickled Pink campaign: One woman every ten minutes is diagnosed with breast cancer […]

Jana Reinhardt Hummingbird Necklace! The hummingbird is very symbolic to native Indian culture and considered  to be a totem by many ancient tribes. It’s said to be a bringer of joy, luck, hope, comfort, love, appreciation, enjoyment, independence, freedom, and optimism – well I don’t know if any of that’s true but they sure are pretty and a bird so rare is very mystifying too. The subject makes a perfect piece for a jewellery collection and being a very steady pendant fan was absolutely what […]

Wonderlab’s New Wonder Show At The Science Museum! Long fans of The Science Museum it doesn’t take much persuasion for me to visit. We used to make a trip there often when we lived in the capital to make use of all the free play and education on offer and though the visits are less frequent these days, they are no less enjoyed! The Science Museum has such a wonderful collection of exhibitions and most of them are totally free to access. There’s […]

A Shaun The Sheep Movie: Farmageddon! Somewhere along the line our tiny baby became an a real little person with likes and dislikes of his own, and actually, a real obsession truth be told! Shaun the Sheep has been his absolute favourite for about a year now and long before I heard there was going to be a new movie (parents all over the land will rejoice with me at the notion of a new thing coming out when you’ve […]

Moorvista With Blueriver Cottages! I’m someone who needs a looker forward to! When I got married I geared myself up for the inevitable post wedding blues by pre planning to plan for another baby as soon as the party finished and when I go on holiday I’m already with cogs whirring as I lie on a sunbed, cosy up in a cottage or take long coastal walks, to book something else up when I get home. I think the come down […]
