Parenting a small child is not easy.
TLDR: Great Halloween, tiny people were cute, sugar was ingested in heroic quantities The Prep: Ollie began the week rather joyfully crowing that it was Halloween soon. Somehow, he has decided that Halloween is something exciting and that he should probably be allowed a party as part of it. Given that Pose and I feel... Continue Reading →
To preface this post I need to say straight off that all in all it's been a brilliant day and in general I do enjoy a cathartic moan so bear with me. Despite the day on balance being ace it did start in rather a ghastly manner with the Olephant waking up with an ear... Continue Reading →
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 →
Torrential rain and 50+ mile an hour winds last night gave way to an awesome day today weather-wise. The days activities were also great fun despite Ollie and Rosie tagging along and cramping my style.

The weather system is playing nicely today so our tent and worldly belongings have dried out from the 24 hours+ of... Continue Reading →

Day began with Ollie's primordial scream echoing across the camp site to let everyone know he had... Continue Reading →
Summer Holidays finally begin!
Awesome day out at Open Air 2017. Love Quenington and Ollie got his first taste of Open Air sculptures/art. Rosie and I managed to make suitably discerning comments along the way such as, 'Ooh it's meant to be a horse I think, maybe a cow... how clever!' and 'It's a wild boar Ollie...it goes oink...

Awesome half term break with the Olephant. In this time it seems he's developed a new technique for being a bit of a pickle. This involves picking up almost any object and then trying to wear it as a hat. So far the objects tried and discarded for this role have included: a drum, not... Continue Reading →
