Summer Holidays: Love them or Loathe them? Here’s How I Manage them…

There would appear to be two camps when it comes to the Summer Holidays; those parents who L O V E them, who can’t tell you enough how much they love spending time with their children; then there are those who visibly shudder at the mention of it, and who dread six continuous weeks with […]

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

I am VERY aware that I have been a right old moaning Minnie on this blog lately, so today I’m going with what makes me happy…… CHRISTMAS! If there is one time of year guaranteed to cheer me up, it’s Christmas-time. Summer is brilliant, when the weather is great…but this is the UK, so, ‘nuff […]
