Parenting a small child is not easy.
Lots of family meet ups took place for our little family over the festive period. This involved us zipping all over the place to far flung exotic places such as Kingston upon Thames, Tamworth, Stratford Upon Avon and Calne. It was genuinely ace to catch up with everyone, it really doesn't happen often enough. The... Continue Reading →
Merry Christmas all!
Last night was our annual Christmas meet up, this time at Juey and Charlie's new house. Genuinely lovely night and great hosting! It was also a massive bonus that everyone being the lovely sorts they are, seemed to take turns Ollie wrangling. Olephant loved the evening and the attention he got, resulting in him becoming...

Ollie sums up my feelings in the most eloquent manner about the idea of work tomorrow. It's not as though it's been a hectic weekend, I just feel as though it's been a weekend that has short changed me on the valid rest front. It's worth pointing out that despite looking as though he's been... Continue Reading →

The days activities were also great fun despite Ollie and Rosie tagging along and cramping my style. Ollie went for his first paddle in the sea, and very quickly ran away from his first paddle in the... Continue Reading →

He spent roughly 40% of the time burbling/flirting/socialising with people in the row behind us, 40% dropping food onto the... Continue Reading →
Ollie's discerning pallette had its first proper taste of Japanese/Sushi today. Unsuprisingly he loved it and equally predictably he managed to make eating rather dainty morsels of food look truly horrific. He pretty much dived face first into some seaweed coating himself and the immediate splatter area around him before we rescued the food. It... Continue Reading →
This picture below hides the truth of what our little Oaflike monster has been up to today. He may look a poppet in this picture but this is the end result of Ollie terrorising our dog. It got to the point that the dog began to whine to get outside for a break from the... Continue Reading →
