#LivingArrows - Children In Need & At Work 47/52 (2021)

We’ve had another busy week and, according to my diary and our kitchen wall planner, it’s not going to get any easier anytime soon. It seems that we’re living in the fast lane at present as we’ve got endless amounts of appointments, activities and tasks to do planned back to back right up until Christmas, by which time I’ll be ready for a rest. It’s been an emotional week as my Mum and I marked a year since my Fathers passing, whilst the kids were kept occupied and entertained. E raised funds for Children In Need by dressing up and …

#LivingArrows - Making Memories With My Minis 46/53 (2018)

As you will no doubt have read on my blog or seen on my Instagram (should you happen to read or follow me) then you’ll be well aware that we collected our new car from the dealership over the weekend. Whilst a Mini may just be a car to most people, it means the world to me. I have such fond memories of bouncing around in the back of my Nanas Mini whilst on my way to and from the caravan site on the coast road. We’d spend time taking walks to the beach via the many farms which were …
