Summer Holidays 2022 – Week Six! Well we had to come home from Tenerife at some point I suppose… It was hard to drag ourselves back to real life but we had a couple more days in the sun to see us into week six of the summer holidays before it was back to reality. And I guess having a week at home before the madness of school, and, gulp, Raffie starting (I well up when I say that, it […]
Coleman Tents 8 Position Recliner Chair! As you will know by now, we love to camp! Camping, for us, is a way of having a break away with the family, on a budget, without scrimping too much on comfort. I mean, it might not sound like the most comfortable thing in the world, sleeping beneath the stars, but it’s all down to the investments made when choosing your kit which makes the difference. Creating a home away from home by […]
Why Does Shopping Make You Happy? Buying something brand new can be a source of great joy and pleasure for many people. The point is not what is being bought (we all like different things, after all), but rather that the act of buying does something to make us feel happy, whether we’re purchasing clothes, books, housewares, technology, or any number of other things. Some people find retail therapy helpful in relieving stress, and this idea is not without merit. […]
Summer Holidays 2022 – Week Five! More fun in the sun, we feel so lucky to be having such a wonderful holiday although we did have a bit of a blip when Raffie had to go to hospital with a poorly tummy. Medication for the pain, they think caused by swimming pool water he’s accidentally drunk, and a probiotic are his prescription and when the pain comes the drops really do take it away instantly. Poor poppet. He’s still enjoying […]

Summer Holidays 2022 – Week Four! The week we had all been waiting for, Tenerife baby! We spent all of Saturday packing and getting ready for our first abroad holiday in three years, first ever as a family of six and were almost unable to contain our excitement as we got closer to Sunday, the day we left. It was nail biting stuff with Tui playing silly buggers at Norwich Airport over the past few weeks and we didn’t know […]
Coleman Camping Wagon! We have used wagons over the years for camping but have had limited success. They have always started out as a really good idea but have, in practice, been tricky to manoeuvre and essentially not strong enough for the job. I’ve even tried buying a heavy duty garden wagon thinking even if it didn’t pull terribly well that it might at least deal with the weight of a tent but I have to say, none have. We […]
Summer Holidays 2022 – Week Three! We began week three in our tent in Cromer staying at my favourite site, Seacroft. There’s a pool and with friends we had a brilliant weekend splashing, more surfing for Florence, beaching, eating and drinking. What a treat and the weather gifted us a huge slice of summer too which was just glorious! We went to Amazona Zoo on the way home, played football golf and then came home to unpack, get sorted and […]
Fired Rose Jewellery! I recently attended a silver clay jewellery making workshop run by new friend of mine, Sarah, from Fired Rose Jewellery. I had no idea what to expect and in a typical for me, fly by the seat of my pants affair, I turned up knowing only that it was jewellery making, using silver, and I was getting lunch! Now, I know nothing about jewellery making or what it entails, but thankfully you don’t have to. Sarah is […]
Giant Pass The Pugs And Top Trumps For The Win! A while back I wrote about Pass The Pugs, the travel game which is a spin on that old fave of mine Pass The Pigs which I’ve been playing on holidays since I was a little girl. The game was a massive hit with my gang who love the names of the positions the pugs get thrown into and really enjoy competing to see who can race to 100 points […]
