Today was the long awaited partial solar eclipse. My daughter woke up bubbling with excitement and kept asking me how long it was until 9am. I spent all morning correcting her, telling her that we didn’t leave home at 9am and had to be ready to leave by 8am if…

I love supporting traditionally made, British products so I was over the moon to get this fluffy surprise through the post last week from Canterbury Bears. She is a hand made, old fashioned bear with such a classic look about her. Princess warmed to her immediately and when I explained the…

Yesterday after what was an amazing evening playing with sparklers and watching our very own fireworks display in our back garden, we went out for a takeaway from our local Chinese. I think I may have also unwittingly supplied a teenager with her alcohol fix. From behind she looked like…

When is social media too much? Snapchatting on the way to work? Instagramming your meals to show all of your friends and followers when you’re out for a meal? What about live tweeting and vlogging the birth of your child, like Robbie and his wife Ava did just the other…

It’s funny how a song, smell or even colour can evoke what you thought was a long lost memory. I walked past a car today, the windows were wide open, trying to give the driver some relief from the warm, humid air. The morning was stiflingly hot for only 8:30am…
