The UK may not always be so lucky with the weather (Storm Doris for instance and I heard last night Storm Ewan is on the way to parts of Ireland) – and we may not have many months, weeks or sometimes even consecutive days of hot British summer however we still have some lovely beaches to visit. One such beach is St Bees in Cumbria … Continue reading Beach Life
Asking Monkey what he wants to see or do can at times involve a challenge of how to meet his requests. Last summer Monkey asked if we could go on a boat trip. I wasn’t sure where to go at first but then I remembered a recent conversation I had recently had with work colleagues. We had been talking about places to visit in the … Continue reading Boat Trip
I have never understood why this one place in the Lake District always attracts me to it the most especially since there are many other beautiful places in the Lake District. Perhaps it is because it has all three things I like to look at – water, ducks and mountains. I have been here so many times as a child, as an adult, with … Continue reading Water Ducks and Mountains
“The big park, the big park!!!” For the next few posts I’d like to  take you on a little journey of some of my favourite places and show some of my photographs I have of these places. This post is a park which my eldest refers to as the big park due to it being the largest we tend to visit . I’ve been there … Continue reading A Walk In The Park

As a parent I have waved at double decker busses full of passengers when Monkey was younger he loved busses – … Continue reading Love… Children

We now only have the 2 cats who create as much chaos as above did. Charlie (the ginger cat) was a surprise present from my husband (he ended … Continue reading Love… Pets

Like Christmas and New Year they are over in a flash, however love isn’t just for one day of the year and it can be … Continue reading Love… Continues

Being an only child I didn’t know or understand sibling love until Boo arrived into our lives. Monkey was 5 during my pregnancy with Boo, he was still getting used to being at school and learning lots of new things. I worried a lot during my pregnancy how would Monkey be with a brother/sister? We had spoke a lot with him before I became pregnant … Continue reading Love… Siblings
