I realise now that I’ve often looked on wistfully at images of Glastonbury wondering why I’d never been to a music festival and experienced the whole ‘vibe’ of camping, wellies and getting covered in mud. Well I need wist no more! I’m now officially a ‘proper’ music festival camper having just got back from Penn […]
I’m EXCITED. You might have noticed that after my ‘why family festivals are fab‘ post and ‘what to wear to a family festival‘. It’s quite likely I could become a bit of a festival bore! Nah, you love me anyway don’t you? (If you are actually loving it, make sure you keep an eye on […]
You’re packing the picnic basket, ear defenders for the kids and maybe even the tent if you are brave like us. Perhaps you were inspired by my post on why family festivals are great? But what’s worrying you is ‘OMG what am I going to wear to a family festival?‘ It’s not exactly glastonbury, and […]

Cuteness alert! This wasn’t just any old half-term. This was the one where Little Dimples turned two and totally ‘got’ what a birthday was. So here she is singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to herself! Oh and if you didn’t get the last few words, we reckon it was ‘and there you go’! I […]
I was in total geeks heaven; my first radio interview with Nick Coffer on BBC 3 Counties. There were dials, buttons, screens, computers, flashing things, headphones; it was amazing. I’d been on blogtalk radio before and interviewed by phone for local independent radio, but here I was being interviewed on BBC Radio, and I […]
I reckon I know ‘How to be a good mother’. Mind you I don’t reckon I get it right all the time. But I do think I know what I did when I don’t get it right. Ironically, I was approached for that Channel 4 program with Sharon Horgan on ‘How to be a good […]
With the big hairy northern one being made redundant, we’ve been talking about taking a year out as a family gap year; maybe 6 months in the states, home for my brothers wedding and 5 months in Australia and New Zealand. Curly headed boy is 6yrs old, and having been to a private school is […]
