When your friend is awaiting the arrival of his new baby boy, and has been through a variety of virtual reincarnations and hence changes of email address over the past year, do not, I repeat DO NOT rely on the poor man to remember to register your domain [...]

A campsite An egghunt A hord A boat ride A horse and a wagon A splash A holiday And even though it meant missing a day at Drayton Manor Park to try out the new Ben 10 ride with Tara, Rosie, Dan and Ian… ..it was still fabulous.

I’ve spent the last few days with friends while Misses E and M have been at Daddy’s. It’s been a really lovely weekend including a drunken meal putting the world to rights, a stroll by the canal, and letting off a beautiful lantern into a clear midnight sky dotted with stars. I’m tired, but it’s that [...]
