The AV5 November Birthdays Night
And here it was once again, Jane & Janine’s ‘double trouble’ birthday night out up town, as they are both November birthday gals. We headed out on a blustery Friday night to a top floor cocktail bar near Waterloo, called Circe. Which turned out to not have a lift – why?? – so by the…

Aces Night Out
Met up with a bunch of the girls from my old hockey team last night – very luckily for me in Wimbledon, despite the majority of them being from the Epsom area. Had a slight kerfuffle 2 hours before the meet time, when I twigged that a takeaway a couple of doors away from the…

Snapshots of Loveliness
This week was a multi-stop shop of seeing different folks – including one for the very first time. We finally (well, he did only arrive 5 weeks ago to be fair!) got to meet the newest member of the family, my great-nephew Boaz. Yes, Boaz – it’s in the Bible, apparently. And he will also…

Lewes Bonfire Night
Having heard lots about the Lewes Bonfire Night over the years, H and I finally got to go to it this year, with a bit of wiggling & jiggling care of Fi & Rich. We got the train from their gaff in West Sussex, into Lewes before the 4pm cut off when the trains no…

The Annual Oldies Tea
It was that time of year again to ‘brace, brace’, take a deep breath, gird the loins and try to bake the annual cake for the old ladies tea party. One that I host at 22 Dora once a year for a charity called Re-engage that helps bring older people together, thank god in cahoots…

Brilliant Baby Arrival
After a lot of hoping, wanting, trying and trying again, my third niece Abbie and hubby Nick welcomed their first little bundle of babyness into the world this week. All a bit of a whirlwind, as the young man took his time arriving – during which my sister in law was practically having kittens in…

Annoying blog thing!
You’ll see that for some reason each first paragraph of each post is being half repeated right at the top – ignore, I’ll get it sorted. x

Norfolk with David & Mands
Had a fab four nights away with Dav & Mands in Letheringsett in North Norfolk last week. Luckily, the weather turned from the back end of Storm Amy as we arrived on Fri afternoon – blustery, whippy winds and lots of crispy leaves shooting in the door as we unloaded our cars – to a…
