Day 1 was spent at SeaWorld, where the heat was overwhelming and the amazing radar system meant we avoided being hit by lightening and [...]

Bring on the silly – Motherhood

My lovely Tara’s Motherhood gallery closes today so I might be a little too late for her competition, but having been away from my little girls for almost a week I couldn’t help hunting through a few photos while I was laying on my humungous bed in the SeaWorld Renaissance hotel.

Message to my monkeys

Oh E your comments have made me laugh so much.  I’m so sorry I’ve not got through to you, my mobile isn’t working here and when you’re at home the times are all wrong to skype.  I’m hoping if you’re around at Saturday dinner time I might be able to skype you but I know [...]

It’s 4am back home and my two little monkeys will be tucked up in bed dreaming of lovely things.  Meanwhile I am sitting at my writing table, excited, exhausted and quite probably smelling a bit iffy.
Having braved Gatwick’s Yotel (it’s actually quite cosy and make me think of Star Trek), and a 9 hour flight, [...]

I swear it’s apple juice

Having just returned from our fab Keycamps trip to France I have to admit it’s taking me a while getting into the swing of things.  One thing I have stopped immediately though, is the drinking.  Apart from the fact I’m shattered and have two children to get up for school, keep clean, and feed, drinking [...]
