Today was one of those days when I realised my girl is no longer a baby and that she’s a very observant 6 year old. Admittedly I thought I had at least one more Christmas to go. Here’s what happened this morning over a pair of socks Lily ‘Mummy is Santa real or is it [...]

Almost Apple Picking Time

21 August 2008

Our house was built in the 1930′s on a site of an apple orchard which appears on maps as far back as 1851. In the back garden we have a very large elderly apple tree which has probably been there for at least a 100 years or maybe more? I don’t even know what kind [...]

It’s been a while..

26 December 2007

Sorry for not having updated this blog for ages, but life has been manic. We’ve had the whole end of term Christmas fun including my daughter’s first nativity play, which was lovely.
