A Christmas decision Logan and Caitlin were very insistent that we have Christmas at home, which in some ways is great - it's so expensive to go away and not be able to join in with anything for Christmas, due to the sheer volume of other people being about. However, being at home for Christmas … Continue reading Christmas and New Year 2018
I won't sit and debate my conflict of soft play here (you know that ugh! it's useful, but ugh! headache...). Instead looking at soft play as a positive developmental tool I will review our experience of this particular establishment. Initially, it was difficult to work out whether there'd be parking, as the establishment is down … Continue reading Review: Kidz Barn
Hi guys, I am seemingly absent, but I promise I am not. Things, once again, are rather complicated here. I mean, we had our normal winter chaos and anxiety and January is supposed to be our recovery time. But it has been relentless, I am unsure of what's been disclosed previously, but fear I may … Continue reading Cogs ticking behind the scenes… still! 😀
By that of course I mean, I put clean bedding on my bed and took a shower. You may think that these two things are simple enough to do, but actually (and this is going to sound really disgusting - but when you are in a high trauma time, you just don't have time/energy for … Continue reading I took some time for self care last night…
I am doing things in the background, I really am - there are several posts (well perhaps several hundred would be a more apt description). I don't hide that the last few months of the year are always a strain in this household, but this year has brought its own unique challenges. We are coming … Continue reading In the background
... you know the one at the end of the tunnel. It's still there, it's just that the length of the pathway, the obstacles in my way and the stability of the road aren't clear. And at the moment it feels very unstable and full of obstacles. Relentlessly so. I'm quite literally treading water with … Continue reading The light never goes out…
So, many reviews have been going up - I have been concentrating on getting those up to date - so it's clear we are up and about, though still not back at full energy capacity. However, whilst the summer holidays are in full swing, we are making use of friends and family being out and … Continue reading A new page… and our summer so far
As Granadad and Nanny were in Burnham-on-Sea having a holiday, we decided, it's really not all that far and we haven't seen them in a while so we should go visit them. The plan was for a beach day, but we chose to go down on a day when the weather was drab. Though for … Continue reading Review: Seaquarium Weston-Super-Mare
The property is situated just outside of Worcester about a 10-15 minute drive from another National Trust property we visited on the same day (Brockhampton Estate). It is set just back off the road and is a relatively small property and has a relatively small car park and overflow. The entrance to the property itself … Continue reading Review: National Trust The Firs (Elgar Birthplace Museum)
The property is entered directly from the A44 between Bromyard and Worcester. About a 10-15 minute drive from another National Trust property we visited the same day (The Elgar Birthplace Museum - The Firs). The long, high wall on the outer of the property gives an indication of a vast estate, but it doesn't prepare … Continue reading Review: National Trust Brockhampton Estate
