Miss Saigon Tour – Norwich Theatre Royal! It will blow your mind! I don’t even know where to begin? How to start? Miss Saigon at the Theatre Royal in Norwich has exceeded every expectation and I had lots. It’s gone above and beyond and I’m still, quite frankly, in shock at the tremendous performance I’ve just seen. A full house standing ovation and all the faces as we spilled from the theatre with delight tell me I am 100% not […]
When did I kiss goodbye to self grooming?! If I’d known it was the last kiss I surely would have lingered longer? Nestled in for one last time… Soaked up all the pampered beauty and delighted in it for one last hurrah?! Only… It wasn’t a clean break you see. It wasn’t a case of cutting off all sources and going cold turkey, no! It happened ever so gradually and I went from a girl who took long languishing baths […]
Half way through the holidays and I keep hearing people say they are tearing their hair out with the kids. I don’t know if I’m a rare breed or a little bit crazy but for me, I just see the days running away as quickly as they can and I want to hold on to each one. There’s a film, is it ‘About Time’? where he gets to re-live days and so he does one normally with the frantic pace […]
Dearest Raffie, You are ten months old already, how did that happen?! This time last year I was cradling my bump feeling like I’d been pregnant for about ten years and yet in the last ten months time has just flown. It’s because I enjoy every second with you and time always flies when you’re having fun! This month you have got super fast on your bum shuffle which is a funny as ever! You go everywhere on your bottom […]
We left the end of year at school with a massive high and both the big kids got wonderful school reports. I usually write about how they have got on but have literally had no time to even think so here I am, not documenting until we are well into the summer holidays and enjoying beach days in the sun! So I’ll be brief and to the point so that I have this as prosperity but so that I don’t […]
The AxissFix car seat by Maxi-Cosi is the latest model in their fleet of seats which just seem to get better and better in terms of what they offer and less and less complicated to use – thankfully! I have always wanted my children to be in isofix based car seats but with my old car not supporting the bases it wasn’t an option. We now have a shiny new seven seater as was necessary with the birth of our third child […]
This time last week we were enjoying some glorious Camp Bestival fun with my very best camp mates Cookie, Katy and Carolynne! The sun shone, the beers flowed, the kids laughed, ran wild and life was exactly as it should be in English summertime! We will gloss over the fact the heavens opened on Saturday night and we got gusts f wind over 50mph meaning the last day had to be cancelled. The stuff that happened before that little sequence […]
Rocknrollerbaby’s Chicken Katsu Curry – serves 4! My children miss lots of things about living in London and aside from their school and pals I’d say top of the list for their misses is readily being able to buy Chicken Katsu Curry when we are out from lots of different market stalls. They can smell out that dish from 100 paces I swear and it’s their all time favourite food. Both of them in agreement for once is one kind […]

A while back Florence told me that she wanted to be on stage. It was a matter of fact statement more than anything else and as she told me she just really needed to feel that way again, after she’d been in a show with her ballet school, I knew exactly what she meant. I had the same passion in my heart at her age, still do in fact, and the thought of stepping out of the wings into the […]
