On our second day of backpacking as a family along the Jurassic Coast we arrived at Cummins Farm Campsite just outside Lyme Regis. Our plan was to stay here for one night and move on, but we decided in the end to take a full day to explore the area and stay for two nights. The …
There haven’t been all that many opportunities for us to go out walking these past few weeks, what with the bad weather and me not taking to the first three months of pregnancy very well. So as soon as the weather perked up a little bit last week and I started to feel more human, …
Rowan is one of the youngest children in his class, and when he started school aged just four years and three weeks I was worried. He’s a bright kid, but his brother was almost five when he started school so there was a big difference. Even now, six months in, Rowan is at an age …

While we’ve no aversion to Anna and Elsa, when I googled ‘Frozen parties’ I found a lot of photos of little girls in princess dresses, a lot of glitter and ice castles made with varying degrees of talent. …
