Christmas Party Ready! I had a conversation with my Mum the other day about how women in their 40s dress differently now to the way they dressed when she was my age. Back then if a woman over the age of 25 had worn a mini skirt she’d have been considered a little common, now it’s fair game. We’ve moved on from considering mutton to be dressed as lamb and we now dress how we like, not how society tells […]
Stocking Fillers For Little Boys! We are struggling a little when it comes to gifts for Raffie. It’s literally JUST been his birthday and he has ALL the toys he can handle yet he’d be so unexcited to be given clothing it’s a bit of a mine field. I want him to feel special on Christmas Day and to soak up the magic. 5 years old is just the right age to immerse yourself but I don’t want to buy […]

Wroxham Barns – The Christmas Experience 2022! Wroxham Barns is a changed creature since the days when I would take my baby Florence. Back then, more than 12 years ago when we first adventured there, it was a lovely little farm with a small play area, soft play and there were some rides you could pay extra for. The farm was always a great value afternoon out, but we rarely ventured to the ride area as when you have to […]
Goldilocks And The Three Bears At The Maddermarket Theatre Norwich! For the second year running in Norwich there’s really only one pantomime you need to book, and that’s the Sound Idea’s Theatre Company offering at the historic Maddermarket Theatre. Last year’s Cinderella was a triumph with the best, worst baddie in all the land played by none other than my delicious friend Anna Goode who once again is treading the vintage boards of this perfectly charming independent theatre in not […]

Health Visitor Survey Caroline Williams, head of engagement at Healthwatch Norfolk I am happy to admit it has been a few years since I was a new mum, but I can still remember the time I got home with my twins for the first time and thought, ‘now what do I do?’ One of the great emotional lifelines for me was my health visitor who was there to help and support me through the twins’ early days, but they continue […]
