The Full Monty Tour – Norwich Theatre Royal! I remember seeing The Full Monty for the first time and being blown away – this wonderfully fun and yet poignant tale made me laugh and cry and I remember thinking how incredibly clever the writing must have been to provoke that kind of reaction in the viewer. It’s a brilliant film, which on paper should translate well to the theatre – lots of fun and raucous energy from both the performers […]
The Snowman – Sadlers Wells – 2018! The first year we saw The Snowman performed by The Birmingham Repertory it was just Florence and I. We were invite in December 2014 to launch the Christmas Jumper Day campaign with Save The Children and we not only got the bug for knitting (which I’ve been avidly doing ever since) but we also we fell totally in love with The Snowman I’m sure most people that see the show do! It’s a […]
Fat Freezing | CoolSculpting Treatment at Pulse Light Clinic Hey, I love the idea of body positivity and doing all we can to embrace our bodies, because they are brilliant, no matter how they look but… I do always feel better about myself when I feel fitter and trimmer and as well as hard work I think making an effort with treating myself to a bit of self-care can go a long way! I know my body is amazing but […]
Karaoke At The Bowling House Norwich! A couple of week’s ago Jonny and I had a really fun date night at The Bowling House in Norwich. The Bowling House is a kitsch and bijou bowling alley filled with artistic details and vintage feels where you can dine (the food was exceptional on our date), drink (cocktails are pretty special), bowl (obvs) and now you can even hire their private karaoke booth! Basically, there’s no need to go anywhere else if […]
Top Toys For Christmas 2018! Yesterday Raffie and I headed into London town to have a perusal of the top Christmas toys for 2018 as decided by the Toy Retailer’s Association. This is an annual event where by the top 12 toys overall are announced from all the nominations in every category. Well we went, we saw, we discovered and we also did our own little reconnaissance of the toys situation and I have to say… Some winners we absolutely agreed […]
Dearest My loves, I was writing to Raffie on the 9th of every month as a way of keeping a diary of his milestones. He turned one and I decided to stop the open letter posts to him and instead, when I feel like it, I will write to all my little loves to keep up with what they are doing and to look back and remember when things were. My blog is nothing if not an invaluable tool for […]
Awful Auntie – Norwich Theatre Royal! Awful Auntie is on tour and she hit Norwich last night for the first of a three night run! Now before I go on I must say that it was BRILLIANT! AMAZING! FABULOUS! The Birmingham Stage Company have the most creative sets which made the whole thing feel magical and enchanting! With rotating turrets to move and change into whatever they needed to be with lighting, textiles and even puppetry (which was glorious) to […]
Halloween Half Term 2018! First of all it doesn’t seem right that half term is over because it all happened too quickly and secondly, it’s not even Halloween yet so I’m absolutely sure that by rights the kids should still be off… Alas, they went back today leaving me and the Raff feeling more than a little longing for their company and reflecting on a truly fab week off together. Well, a really it was 11 days as they had […]
Fitbit For The Whole Family! I remember my first step counter costing about £2. It came from argos and clipped onto my belt. It was rather hit and miss for actually calculating the exact number of steps I took and it was not even reliable for staying about my person. It fell off and got misplaced so many times it really wasn’t worth having but such items have come on with technology so much since then that I almost wish […]
Foreo Mikro Dentist! I’m going to level with you here, teeth brushing in this house doesn’t always feel like the easiest of tasks. The big kids have long gone past the point of accepting my help with the brushing and I’m not sure that Jimmy is terribly good at doing it himself, while the tiny one and his 6 very new teeth do not display signs of pleasure when the toothbrush comes out twice a day. Florence is pretty good about […]
