Recently a number of random people have commented on how similar Shay and Zac look.  I’ve even been asked a number of times in the supermarket if they’re twins. There’s 20 months age difference, it’s bizarre how people could think that.
The other night I was woken at 2am.  “Mummy I fell out of bed.”
“Are you [...]

Last week we drove to Cornwall to join Catherine, Dan and their three kids on their annual holiday there.  We’ve been invited every year since Shay was born (when we first met them) and it’s always great.  We drove down on Wednesday night, all three boys were good and we arrived at 11pm. At one [...]

Last week a couple of friends and I took a half day off work and headed to Wembley Stadium for the rock show that is Oasis – supported by Kasabian and The Enemy.

Poppy & Nana arrived on the 4th, just after the big snowfall and mainly hung out with the family and catching up after we last saw them nearly 2 years ago whilst home on our infamous [...]

We woke up this morning greeted with as much snow as an Alpine Chalet within ski season!  Most of England was and still is disrupted I think – enough that we couldn’t get into work and friends who are there now are wondering how they’ll get home with more snow forecasted this evening.
Amazing stuff, I’ve [...]

Christmas with a 3.5 yo & a nearly 2 year old makes you laugh.
On Xmas Eve we put out the customary biscuits & fruit pie for Santa with some water for Rudolf, and wouldn’t you know it .. when everyone woke up Xmas morning and came down stairs, all the food was eaten!  It was [...]
