Wintery Wonderings…

The world was so beautiful this morning…just the most incredible sights across the fields as we drove to nursery…. The garden was covered in white tendrils, clinging to everything… A sugary coating that continued across the valley….

A day of indulgence… As any parent will know, it’s very rare to get a day that feels all about you. But sometimes you’re in desperate need of one. We were lucky enough to be gifted such a rare treat this weekend, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. For 24 hallowed hours, we…

Farm girl

Out and about on the farm… One of the many great things about Munchkin getting bigger and more grown up (aside from the better sleeping, the walking, the communication, the ability to amuse herself etc etc), is the slow realisation that all those great ‘attractions for children’ now apply to you too. It’s fantastic being able…
