I’m in trouble with my family for not sharing pictures of Sophie’s recent 5th birthday and generally getting behind with the blog again! And so…the big catch up begins… Sophie was indeed five a couple of weeks ago. I’m still … Continue reading
We’re big fans of Chatham Historic Dockyard in Kent and were excited to be invited to visit again during their special ‘Salute to the 1940s‘ theme weekend. As Matt was away for the weekend, I invited our next door neighbour … Continue reading
As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, the entire purpose of our 2017 staycation was to join my family for a week long celebration. My parents both turned 65 this year, and so four generations of our family gathered … Continue reading
After our week long journey to Scotland, we made it to our home for the second week of our summer holiday – an enormous rural house in the Borders which we were to share with four generations of my family! … Continue reading
It’s been a big week for Family Agar, with my mum turning 65, my father-in-law turning 80, my 9th wedding anniversary, and of course, Alex’s 7th birthday! Phew. What a lot of cake! Alex had a wonderful seventh birthday, celebrating … Continue reading

Another milestone is ticked off! Sophie has mastered the pedal bike at last! While Sophie is generally really confident physically, and happy to climb trees, somersault in the pool and scoot like a maniac, she’s never shown much interest in … Continue reading
I’m curled up on the sofa next to the warm fire, with a movie on for the kids and a glass of wine, clinging on to the final few days of the Christmas break. We’re thoroughly enjoying the holiday time … Continue reading
Back in September, I shared a list of fun, family things I hoped to do in and around London this Autumn to help us cope with the darkening days and the colder weather. And now we’re most definitely into Winter, … Continue reading
