It’s been a week of work around the weather which is hardly alien in the UK let’s be honest. Trips out have been smaller local ones to a few arts and crafts destinations and local car boot. We saw how…
Denny Abbey and the Farmland Museum, Groups, Home
Twin Dad is away working again. We are on count down until he returns and also for the next twin birthday of the year. It’s been a busy week. We’ve taken a trip to Denny Abbey and the Farmland Museum…
Clocking up the Mileage
The roads are mostly empty but the fields are full of horses, mud, flowers, crops and you may even see the odd hare sitting alone in the middle. It’s a pleasant winding journey to most places but care is needed…

Birthday Twins, Show Biz
S and L turned 14. Where does that time go? 28 years of parenting right there. It doesn’t get easier the older they get, the job just changes. The learning curve as a parent is still massive and the worries…
