This is a proper holiday post. You’ll be able to tell because it’s going to be short and probably a bit sand covered so I hope nobody is naked as that could be quite uncomfortable…and a bit rude.
We’re having an amazing time. The weather has been boiling hot AND it has poured with rain but […]
I have something to show you.
It’s a little bit special.
I’ve never shown it to anybody before. No, that’s not true, I have shown it to one other person, but otherwise you’ll be the first to see it.
Ready?
Da daaaaaa
Sighhh, lovely isn’t it?
So why am I showing you my overstuffed and unsightly wheelie […]
My sister lives in Brighton. It’s a really cool place to live and we’ve had many good times there. Bright and colourful it’s a place where anything goes as long as it’s not hurting anybody else. We love it.
This morning, as she sat in the hairdressers minding her own […]
Lovely AOJ over at the Lurchers wants us to describe in words and/or pictures our favourite walk.
So we had a lovely day planned today. We would visit Mr B’s mum, aka Grandma, and go on the lovely walk over the field to the park, then back home by the river.

My Six Word Memoir
Lovely Rosie has tagged me for a meme she nicked from Miss Corey.
It all started over at Smith Magazine, and the copy and paste history is thus:
Legend has it that Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Last year, […]
I have a question.
Why do my kids look better if I categorize them as foodstuffs?
You see, this shot of Miss M?
I took this using the ‘cuisine’ setting on my camera.
I have to point out that Miss M chose this dress as her big sis has a similar one, and she picked the socks, and the […]
Today, Miss M has spent much of the afternoon trying not to wake a sleeping ladybird as she passed it on the stairs.
After she mentioned it for the third time, I decided to investigate, and found this…
Yep, it’s a ladybird.
Nope, it’s not asleep…
But I didn’t have the heart to tell Miss M that the sleeping […]
