Thule Chariot Cross 2 – Review! I’ve wanted to have a bike trailer to use with the kiddos ever since we hired one when staying in the new forest although that one wasn’t particularly sophisticated it has to be said. It was very basic and not particularly comfortable for the children but it afforded us a family bike ride with two reluctant small ones and we loved the experience. I knew that on the market there were much cleverer models […]

Bechamel Quiche Recipe! My Grandmother was great and lots of fun – I’ve many good things to say about my dad’s mother as we were great friends but I have to admit that a cook she was not. I don’t even know if she actually liked food because when catering for a family get together and her table would always be bought in beige food. At the centre of everything would be a shop bought quiche. Every. Single. Time.  A […]

The Worst Witch Comes To Norwich Theatre Royal April 16th – 20th 2019! It’s not often that you’ll find a theatre preview on my blog, I’m more about the reviews as you knw but occasionally one has to slip through the net, especially when Norwich Theatre Royal are doing such a magnificent job of inviting wonderful family shows to be played in our region. Later on in the year we will be getting Matilda The Musical which is a bit […]

Splash About New Baby Wrap And Happy Nappy – Review! I’ve been using Splash About Happy Nappies for a LONG time – in fact if you go way back on my blog you will see I was talking about them even when Florence was tiny. I remember thinking that they were quite expensive at a tenner each (as they were then) but noting that they did the job so, you obviously got what you paid for plus they look great, always have […]

Spring Shopping Haul At JD Williams! I think spring is one of the trickiest times of the year for fashion – well, it is in the UK at any rate! A day can start out weather wise requiring black tights and boots but by lunch be high sunshine and in need of a summer dress. It’s hard to transition from winter to spring with clothing for this very reason so I like to keep things simple with layering and light […]

Zog Live Tour 2019 – Review! Freckle Theatre Company have done it again! They’ve brought to glorious and technicolour life a much loved story by Julia Donaldson and more to that, the illustrations of Alex Sheffler! Zog Live is every bit as good as I’d hoped it would be and with a tweak here and a plump there, the wonderful tale that I often read to my children at bed time played out before us to many smiles and clap alongs […]

Home Finishing Touches! We just reached the three year anniversary of moving from our small London flat to our big Norfolk house and would you believe it, we still haven’t furnished or decorated all the rooms yet! This house needs a LOT of furniture and I’m always reluctant to do anything or make any purchases until I know exactly what it is that I want. Often this means a long wait when it comes to décor… Drives my husband bonkers! […]

RoaRR Dinosaur Adventure – Lenwade, Norfolk – Review! I’ve taken the big kids to the dinosaur park in Norfolk (Roarr Dinosaur Adventure) before but absolutely not for ages. I’m not sure why because as we are members of Banham Zoo it means we can get 50% off the entry price at Roarr making that a big incentive, but I guess we’re always busy and haven’t got around to it – however, I’m SO glad that we finally did it this half term […]

February Half Term Frolics 2019! Well… Like I always say, time really does fly when you’re having fun and half term this February went by in a whizz and a flash of fun and frolics for us! As ever we tried not to stop for breath and just whirled our way around the days going out with family and friends and having the best laugh all together! Poor little Florence was poorly for the very first day when Jimmy, Raffie […]
