A brief week in photos, I must apologise. I am exhausted. A trip to Butlins with 3000 Brownies will do that to a person. (We had great fun, it was a busy weekend, and technically we only actually had 13 of the 3000 to actually look after, and it was Big Girl’s first weekend away […]

Meet Charlie the Parrot, a new member of the family. He is Little Man’s current soft toy of choice, and he cuddles him to sleep at night. The other morning I woke to find him “in my face” literally, left to watch over me while I slept. Enough to make a girl want to turn […]
