Caitlin was at craft club at our Gym. She fell over, and bumped her head. They checked her over and saw she was ok, physcially, but they aren't aware of the mental implications. Caitlin withdraws in times of anxious-ness, so instead of crying and showing she's hurt or worried, instead of saying she needed to … Continue reading Triggers: small and misread

Gate crashing!
Nanna and Grandad had booked a caravan just outside of Saundersfoot, well, I say "booked a caravan" I actually mean, arranged to stay in a friend's caravan. I will not link the place here, because frankly it was horrific; it was a wet week, but it was less damp outside of the caravan. Anyhow, we … Continue reading Gate crashing!
Review: Blue Lagoon Waterpark Wales
Being a swimming pool, I can't really do much in the way of photography here... and being a very wet day, most photographs were akin to the featured image here, for the "outside" picture. But I can certainly let my words build the imagery, and the web page for the pool has 360 views anyhow. … Continue reading Review: Blue Lagoon Waterpark Wales
Review: The Dinosaur Park
Whilst gate crashing Nanna and Grandad's holiday in Saundersfoot, we visited the Dinsosaur Park, near Tenby. It was on a main route and easy to get to by car, although the sat nav indicated I should enter through a field rather than the actual entrance, which crept up on me on a fast road, so … Continue reading Review: The Dinosaur Park
A day trip to London
Sometimes, I wake up with this urge... I'm not sure if anyone else gets it, I'd be interested to know if people do to be honest. But basically, it's like an itch, I can't physically scratch it I can only relieve it by succombing to its desire; the desire to escape and explore. I woke … Continue reading A day trip to London
Review: The Tate
After arriving into London by train, we took the tube to Blackfriars. It's a 5 minute walk to the Millenium Bridge to the Tate, which in my opinion added to the excitement and magic of the trip. We initially got a bit confused between the two towers and where to take the lift from for … Continue reading Review: The Tate
Review: The Natural History Museum
Well what can I say about it - it's a free museum jam packed full of interesting exhibitions that can be of interest of children and adults alike. Most notable, of course, is the dinosaur area. Not least because myself and the children alike are quite dino-loving. It was particularly interesting for us though, as … Continue reading Review: The Natural History Museum
Seasons Greetings
Dearest friends, family and followers... On the surface it appears I have abandoned this idea of blogging, but let me assure you, in the background many things have been happening. Right now I have 15+ posts pending pictures/proof reading and so forth. You see, the final quarter of the year is a very stressful and … Continue reading Seasons Greetings
Why the hell are they still in your room?
So, our children have lived with us for over 2 years, and they go through periods of sleeping in our room and sleeping in their own room. We have even put bunk beds in our room and made it very cramped so that they actually have a proper bed to sleep in. We know getting … Continue reading Why the hell are they still in your room?
Can’t find the remote…
I know, as humans, there are times when we find ourselves wondering what it'd be like if we had a magic remote that enabled us to pause, rewind or even fast forward life. Tonight, I am finding myself more in need of this all powerful, all magical and all enticing mystical remote than ever. Yesterday, … Continue reading Can’t find the remote…
