Like a lot of people it seems, autumn is my favourite season of the year. The colours, the cooler weather, the darker evenings and the smells. Much as I like to enjoy autumn from inside the house with a nice smelling candle and a mug of cocoa, I like to be out exploring too. With a growing family this is even more exciting now that I get to trample through woods and kick…
So I was ready for autumn to arrive, I had got all my tights out the bottom drawer and fluffed up my jumpers ready for wearing, and swapped flipflops for boots! Then Sunday happened! Glorious sunshine and warmth descended upon us after an overcast morning us, so we headed to one of our local National Trust properties Nyman’s for the afternoon. Annoyingly I had left my SD card for my camera in my laptop, so…
If you follow me on Instagram or twitter you will probably have seen me majorly making up for my social media absence of late on Friday night and Saturday morning! If not then you missed this delight: I was super lucky to have been invited to an amazing night and day thanks to OnThe Beach. Along with thirteen or so other bloggers I was wined, dined, pampered and had a thoroughly spiffing time! We…
Last Sunday I spent the day in London with a handful of bloggers, is there a proper word for a gathering of bloggers? Anyway, I met Katie (hook,line and sink her) at Victoria and we then met Ria (wishing-for-chanel) Erin (e-elise etc & Michelle (daisybutter) at Hyde park and strolled on into Winter Wonderland. Now maybe the fact that each year WW gets hyped up had prepared me for a magical experience of wonderment.…
In the first week of September we took a trip to Parham House in Sussex as Sam’s dad had come down to visit us and see Athena again, it was such a glorious day that we wanted to go somewhere and enjoy the sun! Parham House is run independently so it cost us less to get in than a National Trust property, or Arundel Castle which was our first choice but was extortionate when we…
This is what happens when I ask Sam to take pictures… bump shots. Top H&M (not maternity, just bigger sized) and Skirt H&M Maternity. Shoes Peacocks. Also check out the trout pout on the right picture, it’s the only reason I left it in! This is what I wore when we ventured to the North coast of Cornwall, we visited Newquay (I didn’t really like it, it reminded me of the 70’s… in a…
Back in February I took my husband to Banham Zoo, (in Norfolk) in the cold and sleety weather as a birthday treat! It’s a bit of a tradition for us, last year we went to Frankfurt Zoo in the cold and sleety weather on my birthday. We’ll take the sprog to the Zoo for its birthday when it arrives, but it wont be cold and sleety (with any luck, being a June baby!) Anyway, as…
So back in the August Sam and I spent the day at Muncaster Castle in the Lake District. Its about a 20 minute drive from where my dad lives and I wish I had visited sooner, perfect gardens, birds of prey, a gorgeous (still lived in castle) and so much more… there was a magician the day we were there too but I think it was aimed at people a little younger than us! Enjoy!…
