  • Seeing Prof

    Having had the first of my '3 whole months till I have to go there again' highly pleasurable gaps between appointments, I did finally have to bite the bullet and tip up with Mr H at Parkside yesterday for my joyous appointment with Prof. And actually, it was one of the better ones – I asked…

  • And Godson No.2

    While I'm on the subject of godbeasts, oops my lovely boy godchildren, here's a shot of the slightly smaller version. Well, maybe I should say younger version as he's actually going to be a pretty tall lad I reckon! Taken at Claire's BBQ this weekend, this is Oliver, celebrating catching some little ball things that…

  • Godson Bonanza

    It's taken me a week or so to get over the shock, but yes – I did actually do a school pick up through to overnight babysit for Hatch's two boys, my godson Jack and his younger brother Toby. Yes indeedy – me in charge of children, Hatch obviously had got to the bottom of…

  • Cuttytastic

    I'd forgotten that Greenwich is actually rather pretty, given you can only access it from our neck of the woods by going round the horrors of the South Circular or a concerted effort on multiple sweaty tubes and the DLR. But these last couple of weeks working with Meantime Brewing Company (a really good bunch…

  • Parklife

    So today I decided I would brave a whole new skill base – combining taking mum out for a stroll in her wheelchair with walking Scrumpy. I am a woman and we are naturally made to multi-task, or so I thought…. Challenge 1 – getting Mum to fetch her own shoes and put them on, her…

  • Miami Nice

    What to say about the fab destination that somehow manages to keep 'she always in search of new pastures' coming back for more each year? Well, it was just about as hot there as it was here – plus had some monster thunderstorms, including the one that shut the airport – just as we were…

  • This’ll tickle you… red?

    Ok, so before I embark on the marathon effort of whacking a few Miami & Turks & Caicos pix onto here, thought you might enjoy this little conundrum. One of my many rather lovely shopping purchases from the Miami leg of the trip (thanks again, Sawgrass Mills, the best outlet mall ever) was a rather lovely…

  • Miami Vice & Caicos Spice

    Well, we've been back from Paris for a few weeks so it must be time for… another holiday! Yippee!!! Heading off to Miami this Friday with Janine for 3 nights, then on to Parrot Cay in the Turks & Caicos islands for 4 nights. Quick last night stop at Miami on the way back to top…

  • Suntastic Cottage Weekend

    Just back home from a lovely 2 days down at the cottage in West Sussex with Janine & Ross. And a deliriously happy Scrumpy, finally allowed off the lead in her beloved coot garden and the local fields to run like a crazed beast, now that her cut leg is (almost, here's hoping) mended. Given…

  • Wimbers tennis, daaarling

    What a cracking day we had on Thursday! Got our first set of Ballot tickets for Wimbers since Mr H moved here, and what a result they were – 4th row on Centre court, almost at touching distance to the players as we were right in the middle, bang at the net. Could pretty much have refilled their Robinsons from our…
