#MySundayPhoto – The Big Bang

#MySundayPhoto - The Big Bang

We’ve just and so come back from a fireworks display with the children. Our daughter E is a pyro-maniac and adores fireworks, we therefore try to fit in as many displays as possible throughout November, starting this evening by visiting my parents house, to watch their local display. I too adore fireworks, there is something magical about standing by the fire whilst watching the plethora of colours pop, whizz and fizz in the sky.

Glimmies, It's A Kind Of Magic!

The Magic Of Play We all love to have a little bit of magic in our lives, this especially applies to children as they are yet to fully understand the World in which they live and the concepts of Science. To actually witness magic in the making is somewhat of a thrill. I myself love to watch a good magic trick and since having children have learnt how to perform a few of my own tricks to stun and amaze my little ones. As a child light can be a fairly magical concept, as we wake each morning the sun rises and as we settle down …
