Of course we went to see my Darling Nina. Still it is just a piece of stone, with some grass, and some flowers and an old photo. It was lovely to ‘see’ her and have some long chats with Amy about Mummy Nina – that meant a great deal to me. Thanks to my MaryRead More

Day 1 Amy the lion tamer in DK’s back garden. Whipping poor little Twiglet. Ollie turns up to watch – whip her harder Amy. DK from RSPCA turns up and sorts them out. Looks like a game of ‘what’s the time Mr Wolf’. Snack time – and indeed it was as Claire had laid onRead More

Off to Covent Garden we go – a busy busy day planned with much sight seeing for the kids. Amy had already demanded London Eye and Big Ben – locked in! But 1st things 1st off to a lovely Sunday brunch with my ever so lovely and beautiful friends Carole, Greg, Troy & Tiah. RememberRead More

That’s your lot? Nah, this is my Mum’s allotment! Like a cottage industry in the making. Food in abundance. Colours and smells (yes that’s ‘compost’, or as we call it horse sh*t!) galore.

Daddy-pedia time! Dover stands at the narrowest part of the English Channel, next stop France. Remember the Vera Lynne wartime song; “They’ll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover…” Yep that’s this place, I think referring to The Battle of Britain and our returning heroes of the time. Much history is here too asRead More

Beautiful Nanny – just beautiful.  A picture paints a thousand words and all that, so really I can shut up for this one (for once I hear you saying!). Just enjoy the flowers from a sunny Garden of England garden! Do you want a little history on Westgate? Hmmm tell you what, I don’t care,Read More
