  • Anyone For A Biscuit?

    So, yet again, the weather is rubbish! I am so totally bored of these grey, miserable, damp days and I am really struggling to come up with new and exciting ideas to entertain the kids. I just cannot wait for the summer to appear!!

    So today, we decided on Butter Biscuits ….. (and I have to say, they are pretty amazing!!) …..

    Its one of those guaranteed activities, isn’t it? you just know the kids will be entertained for at least 3/4 hour, fingers crossed, a little longer!

  • Glorious mud!

    I feel unbelievably lucky to be living where we do. It wasn’t my choice though (I can’t take the credit for that) but it was my parents decision all those years ago. I was born here and grew up here (well about 6 miles away), so as much as I didn’t choose this area myself, I have loved it enough to have never left!

    I just love the fact that we can jump in the car, drive 10 minutes or so and you can be in the middle of nowhere! For a parent of young children there is just nothing better, its so important to me that our children get out and enjoy the fresh air and that they are active (plus it helps my sanity!!). Whether we are kicking a football around the common, jumping in muddy puddles or looking for Gruffalos in the woods, its just so great to stretch those legs!

  • Freedom At Last!

    Its definitely that time of year isn’t it? My children seem to be taking it in turns to bring back bugs and such like from pre school and school. As soon as one recovers, the tag team begins and the another one starts off.

    We have been suffering ourselves recently, but we seem to have finally shaked it. I could not wait to get the girls out and about (as they say, a bit a of fresh air does them the world of good anyway!).

    So we didn’t venture far today, just to the local lakes, but here are a few of our photos from today ….
