So here we are, it’s the weekend again! We enjoyed a rather lazy but well-deserved lay-in followed by a quick tidy and clean before my Mum popped over for a brew and some banter. This afternoon we’ve been for another walk through the fields and past the ponds with not just one but two dogs, followed by the obligatory burgers (from the van in the square) and a few… View Post

The A-Z of Parenthood (Five Years Later) – The Preteen Edition
Having spent the past twenty-four hours moving my website from one host to another I was forced to check back upon a few of my past posts to ensure that everything still worked and that the transfer had been successful.

I’ll openly admit that I’m very much a creature of habit, I like to stick to a schedule and I don’t often tend to go off-plan but there are times when living spontaneously suits me. Just the other day we had planned to nip through to my Mum’s for a flying visit to place flowers on Dad’s grave and to exchange Easter gifts. However, our ‘quick visit’ soon became a sunny, spring stroll through the graveyard followed by a lengthy dog walk through the park, over the hillside, under Echo Bridge, and past the ponds (where we fed the ducks)… View Post
