  • ‘Mummy….’

    '…please can you put your bowl down and stop being so selfish because I want ALL the milk…'                             I now have to stand to eat my cereal because a certain little black someone drops fur in it otherwise as she shoves…

  • COYS!

    Yep – it took me a while to work out this means 'Come On You Spurs'. But having been invited by my chum Nicky to watch the Champions League semi vs Ajax at the new stadium this Tues, with Soph & Mel too, it soon became obvious, when you hear it being shouted by 60,000…

  • Mikey, Margo and the Mini Monkeys

    The perfect Sunday – a very nice walk, some dog mucking about on Wandsworth Common and then bit of time sending little chubby cheeks Emmy down the slide with her big brother Patrick, then a top banana lunch back at Mikey & Margo's.                        …

  • Easter Cooty

    What better place to spend the rest of the Easter weekend than down at our favourite coot? Exhausted ourselves ambling with the dogs, reading the papers, popping to Waitrose, doing some light gardening, hitting the sun loungers, having a pre-dinner pint at the White Lion, getting the wood burner going, shaking a few cocktails, scoffing…

  • Mr H Returns

    And finally, on Thursday morning this week, Mr H returned from his 3 week trip to Australia. Having nailed Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide he was really pleased with how the 2 conferences went – as well as the back to back wine tastings that seem to have accompanied them. Everything from the kangaroo in…

  • Is that a Unicorn?

    So, I managed to somehow totally bugger my back in Spain last weekend. I was very lucky to make it back on the coach to the airport (just one minor scream when the coach went over a bump, which I tried to pretend wasn't;t actually me) and an unhelpful bit of turbulence on the plane…

  • Spain part 2 – Clare G’s 60th

    OK – so the weather wasn't super kind to us, but did it matter? Did it hall – we had a great weekend in San Sebastian to celebrate Clare's 60th birthday. And how can she even really be 60 when she can run half marathons and looks this good??              …

  • Spain trip – Part 1

    Whipped over to Northern Spain last week for 3 nights with Janine, before then joining the AV girls in San Sebastian for the weekend (see Part 2!) Talk about chalk and cheese weather – we arrived in unseasonal drizzle, nipped up into the mountains and found ourselves walking in the beautiful crisp April snow, and…
