Moustache (Mercury) Mania!

Different continents... Same sense of humour!

Happy Christmas

Some prezzies are better than others

O Christmas Tree!

How does everyone else get their tree home? Maybe they just have a
slightly smaller one...

Ho Ho Ho!

Here we go.....

Fred and Wilma!

Sheryl hasn't had a baby for a while, thankfully this time she's
chosen to have kittens instead.

Matching Boys

The teachers have another training day so Max had Charlie (aka the
devil from yesterday) to play... They decided to dress as twins.

That Time Again

But no pumpkin this year... Just a spare devil!

Max The Chef!

It's half term and Max came to me with a recipe he'd written down from
a cookery programme.... Here is his first attempt at chocolate roulade!
Not bad!

Drusillas Day

Max's teachers had a training day so we went to Drusillas for the day
with his friend Charlie.

Bollywood Bindi Boy

Max's year group did a fantastic bollywood style dance at school today.
Here he is sporting his bindi.

Izzy's Flower

Izzy brought home a tiny sunflower seedling on the last day before the
summer holidays. It's taken a while but here it is on 6th October!

Altogether Now!

Happy Birthday Joe... 22 today!

Life's a Beach!

It may be October but we have just spent the day on the beach making
the most of the unusually fabulous weather.

It's a carrot!

Milk Truck?

Hey There Mr Blue Sky

The long awaited British summer is here at last... Today was oficially
the hottest day of the year.

Uni Girl

One Bethan safely delivered to her University campus.

Ahhrrrgghhhh!

I Woke up early and wandered down to make a cup of tea and this is
what was on the wall!

Back to school!

At the gym we had a fancy dress day to mark the new season of classes.
We did 3 hours of exercise dressed like this!

Daisy Cake!

My friend asked me to make a cake for her daughters birthday... Her
name is Daisy so I thought this was appropriate.

Fishy Feet!

A birthday treat!

All The Fours

Bollocky Blog!

The reason I took this picture is because this Statue has shall we say
a massive pair! As it happened the photo is more bollocky than the
Lion. Bollocks!

New Kids On The Blog

They are of course the same kids... Just a little bigger!

This was taken on our recent holiday in Zante which was truly lovely.

Both of them are now back at school, Max is in year 4 and Izzy has gone up to year 9.

Forgive Me Bloggers For I Have Sinned....

It has been six monts since my last post....

I could tell you I'd been on a six month round the World trip on a posh yacht...

As it is I just kind of got out of the habit but as 3 separate people have requested the return of my blog, here I am!

At London Zoo

Admiring the flamingos

At the hotel

Making themselves at home.

A Trip to the Moon!

Actually we're at the science museum in London.

Monkey Bizness

Max's teachers have a training day so what better way to spend the day
than in a play centre. Max happily threw balls for about 3 hours.

Ideal!

Auntie Lesley very kindly gave me tickets to the ideal home show in
London, there were lots of fantastic things there but I particularly
liked this chandelier.

Pastille Pancake!

As it's pancake day I let the kids design their own pancakes... This
was among the most outrageous... Fruit pastilles, honey and lemon curd!

My Kind Of Pub!

The Lakes

Sam and I have just spent a wonderful weekend away in the Lake District,

On The Bottle!

Surely he's a bit young to start on the gin!

Teen Angel!

Can you believe that tiny baby is now a great big 13 year old girl!

Izzy's Pizza Party

Iz had some friends over for pizza for an early birthday treat today.
Lots of eating and giggling took place!

New Place

Actually it's an old place which is where Sam and I stayed last night,
it just happens to be called New Place!

January Escape!

Sam and I have sneaked away to a nice hotel just for one night...
Although the picture looks like we've jetted off to somewhere
Mediterranean this is actually Portsmouth!

This Sums Up The Last Month

So:- it's 10pm on Christmas Eve and the garage door falls off, or doesn't, at this point it can't be opened or closed! Half the fairy lights above are out.. I have the flu.... and have yet to be Father Christmas! You get the picture!

So sorry to my blog regulars but it's been a difficult blogless month.

I'm now feeling much brighter, the garage door is fixed, the lights are packed away til next Christmas and my flu has left me with no more than a wheeze....

Regular blogging resumes!
