Fursty Ferrets

It’s amazing the stuff you can buy in Schmesco these days.

I had to buy this as a homage to the Homely Ferret which you can read about here and see Miss M showcasing here just in case you missed it. It tasted alright, kind of like a Mansfield Bitter, which they no longer make. [...]

Explosive giggles

I’m checking through Miss E’s homework. She has this list of words from which she needs to pick 12 and use them in a sentence. Some of them are kind of unusual and a little old fashioned, especially when you consider this is a piece of work aimed at 7 and 8 [...]

Cocktails, smiles and cuddles

The great British blog meet?
What can I say?
You know how when you blog, and you make friends and you feel like you know them?
And you know how when you talk about them to the people physically present on a day to day basis in your life, they look at you like you’re mad?
And they say [...]
