A Week Away

Friday, April 22, 2011

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. Happy Easter everybody. Hope you have lovely stuff planned and that in there somewhere is chocolate.

We’re in. I have no real internet access yet but will soon. The move was great, the removal men seemed great… Even though Miss E’s ipod nano (Christmas prezzie from her Dad) was no longer where she and I remember it being, we continued to think them great, because otherwise, two grown men who I’d ‘plied with [...]

Miss M is a fury of motion. Her right arm creates a mass of spiralling curls across the page as Brian May seems to be taking shape before my eyes. Me: ”Wow M, that’s a gorgeous curly haired person you’re drawing babe. Is it Rapunzel.” Miss M: ”It’s St Paul Mummy.” She doesn’t look up but continues her [...]

Enjoy. Hope you’re not too traumatised. If you enjoyed that then please donate if you can, and if [...]

Who lives in a house like this? Celtic Haven we’re moving in!

Come on in, let me show you round… Isn’t it gorgeous? This was our home for three days and two nights. Three days of pretending that this little bit of heaven was ours.
