A lazy morning with breakfast in bed wasn’t on the cards for me this Mothers’ Day! I did have time to have a quick look at the fabulous cards the children had made me at school, before were up and out … Continue reading
I’ve said it before on my blog many times – but I love how many green spaces there are near where I live. I know it’s not quite the same as heading out into the proper countryside, but I adore … Continue reading
We ended our rather quiet half term with an afternoon wander around Streatham Common. Even though I must’ve driven past it hundreds of time during my years living in London, I’ve never been – and always assumed it was just … Continue reading
With our half term plans somewhat scuppered by illness, we ended up staying very local – but that didn’t mean it was boring! The weather was glorious last Thursday, so I took the children to one of our favourite local … Continue reading
Half term has whizzed past – so I’ve got some blog updating to do! It hasn’t quite been the half term week we’d hoped for, with our original plan to spend a few days in the New Forest with Katharine … Continue reading
Just sorting through photos as I start my 2016 photobook, and thought I’d share a few snapshots from January – our lives according to my smartphone! Alex and I had a special day out together a couple of weeks ago … Continue reading
I’ve had in the back of my mind trying to take part in the “Me and Mine” project this year – taking a whole family portrait every month. After a failed attempt last weekend (more on that in another blog), … Continue reading
I’ve just realised I completely forgot to write about the first day of 2016 which is a shame as it was a fantastic start to the year. We went back to Kew Gardens to explore their Christmas Light trail. Having … Continue reading

Tumbling Bay sound rather romantic I think – it makes me imagine a remote, rugged beach somewhere… But it’s actually the name of the fabulous playground in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, and the venue of our final … Continue reading
We’ve had yet another very local weekend – there’s just so much to organise before the Christmas break that we haven’t managed to fit in a proper day trip for ages. Oh well. We’ll make up for that when we … Continue reading
After our busy half term and Sophie’s birthday, we’ve had a run of really quiet weekends – which, frankly, has been just what the doctor ordered! Our jobs have been crazy this past few weeks and chilling out at the … Continue reading
Just sorting through the photographs on our camera and spotted a fun series we took a couple of weeks ago that I haven’t shared on the blog. We recently spent a wonderful Autumn afternoon in Sydenham Hill Wood, just up … Continue reading
I’m sitting here with that tired but satisfied feeling you get after a lovely long walk. I’ve got my my feet up, a glass of bubbly at my side, the Rugby World Cup on TV and feeling super relaxed after … Continue reading
With Alex now at school full-time, and Sophie adjusting to nursery mornings and nap-free afternoons with her childminder, we’re finding both children are exhausted by the end of the week. So we’ve made the most of our local area for the … Continue reading
