Step Back in Time

I was going to post this yesterday.  After a fab weekend with a visit from my wonderful friend Zerilda and her family, my two monkeys were to spend Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday with Daddy, but at 8pm Mr B phoned saying Miss M wanted to come home, and as I knew we had two [...]

Miss M Painting Pictures with Words

I’m sitting drying my hair.  Miss M walks into the room and watches me for a moment.  Her thoughts are elsewhere but her eyes follow my hand as it shakes the hair dryer back and forth over my locks.  (Because when you shake the hair dryer over your hair it dries faster.  No really.)   [...]

When Grannies Go Bad

There’s a little something I need to share with you.
I almost forgot, but thank Bob, I came across it today as I was scanning through some old pics.
Seriously, you are going to be so glad I found this again, honest, you’ll probably want to shake my hand and send me lots of money and a [...]

Vickie and Colin Get Hitched

My cousin Vic is one of a kind.
Strong willed, outgoing, loyal, stubborn, adventurous, practical, hilarious, enthusiastic, loving.
There is no one like her and she never changes.  You take her as you find her and if you don’t like what you find then too bad.  The thing is, you probably will like her.  You might be [...]

Wisbech wedding

We’re in Wisbech for my lovely cousin’s wedding. I’ve tried to blog but we’re in a 400 year old hotel that thinks t’internet is for wusses so I keep losing my posts.
I’ll update you soon but right now it’s almost 1am so I need to sleep.
Night night.
Hope all your barnacles are happy ones.

I’ll leave you [...]

Getting back to nature with Supergrass, Lightening Seeds and Super Furry Animals

There’s something so cool about loving a band when you’re 18 and still loving them at 34.
I’ve grown up with Supergrass and they’re one of the best bands I have ever seen live.
In fact, Supergrass at Rock City was our honeymoon.  We got married when I was a 24.  We were both at Uni, me [...]

Nobody In

I’m not here.
I’m writing a reading type thing for my cousin’s wedding. She wants something silly and fun and sweet. The only thing is, the wedding is on Monday.
Arghhhhhhhhhh.
SO I’m not here.
And neither is this glass of wine or that Guu chocolate mousse thing.
Oh, and I added my twitter account so if you get [...]

Break Up Make Up

My Mum doesn’t wear a lot of make up.
Don’t get me wrong, she doesn’t need to, and I’ve always tended to go for the fairly fresh faced look as well, not necessarily because I don’t need it, but perhaps more because I’m a bit of a coward and also I’m a bit pants at applying [...]

Making Mummy Melt

Part One
Step 1:  Grab her hand.
Step 2:  Gaze up at her with large, pool like eyes, fringed with soft black lashes.
Step 3:  Frown a little, then say…

Melting Moment Number 2
I read Miss E her birthday post and the comments from you lovely lot.  She wanted to reply, so she wrote this,
“This is miss E. Thank [...]

Delightful Delousing

Tonight we are delousing.  Or is it delicing? Or denitting?
Anyway, that’s what we’re doing tonight.  Misses E and M are done, now there’s just me.  I bought a new super ‘bashemonthebonceandbrainemgood’ nit comb from Schmesco today as the one we had kept going all bendy and sticking in their little heads which did not make [...]
