Things that I have #LikedandLoved in November 2023

Though I usually list my top ten things that I’ve #LikedandLoved throughout the month, this past month has been difficult thus I’ve had to downsize somewhat and will therefore document my five favourite moments.  Fabulous Fireworks Having armed ourselves with wooly hats, gloves, scarves, wellies, and obligatory sparklers, we took the kids to not just one but two awesome fireworks displays this year. There’s nothing quite like wrapping up warm and watching the sky light up with sparkles, pops, and bangs. A Snip Away Though my husband has his hair cut regularly, the kids and I don’t tend to bother …

#LivingArrows – November 2023

#LivingArrows - November 2023

November has been a tough cookie in this household but we’ve done our best to keep the kids entertained and at ease in the run-up to Christmas. I’m yet to find my festive spirit, I am never usually a ‘Bah Humbug’ sort of gal but it’s not easy at present. As I mentioned in an earlier post, we took the kids to the local Dickensian festival this weekend. The boys wore their bowler and top hats whilst E and I stuck with sensible woolen wear to keep ourselves wrapped up warm as it was frosty out.  Despite the endless stalls …

#MySundaySnapshot - Ferris Wheel 48/53 (2023)

Welcome to this week’s #MySundaySnapshot post, which is part of a snap-sharing-blog-linky series that you are very welcome to join. Click here for further information and guidelines upon this linky should you wish to take part. As promised, we took the kids to the local Dickensian festival this afternoon. I think that it was one of the busiest years I have ever seen as the town was packed to the rafters with people. Once upon a time, I would have loved being amidst the hustle and bustle of a festival but this year not so much…  I found the whole experience massively overwhelming. Thankfully, we …

Things that I have #LikedandLoved in November 2022

I’m not a huge fan of November, not only is it one of the most miserable months of the year weather-wise, it’s historically been the month for tragedies and loss within our family, and whilst I’d hoped to avoid such sorrows this year, sadly that’s not the case. Looking on the brighter side, which is difficult to do with all the short days and lengthy dark nights, here are a few of the things that we, as a family,  have #LikedandLoved throughout the month. Fun Watching Fireworks Bonfire Night was thankfully a clear, dry evening and we celebrated the event …

#LivingArrows – Dickensian Delights 48/52 (2022)

#LivingArrows - Dickensian Delights 48/52 (2022)

We spent Saturday strolling around the streets enjoying Dickensian delights with the kids. It’s the first time in a few years that we’ve been able to attend the local Dickensian festivities due to bad weather and of course, the pandemic. It was great to get out, to share some mulled wine and a few mince pies whilst enjoying the atmosphere and getting in the mood for Christmas. The kids were wrapped up warm and were spoilt rotten with various bits and bobs from the realms of stalls that we scoured throughout the day. Though we’d wrapped up warm we didn’t …
