Things are just pootling on as normal here at the moment. School, work, kids, life admin. Nothing particularly noteworthy or fun. And as a consequence I’ve been feeling a little flat with my photography and it’s seemed that moments of joy are few and far between compared to the summer. In all honesty, I struggle…
Back in May half term we took our ‘big trip’ for the year. We try and alternate between exploring more of Europe and venturing a bit further afield because I’m determined to show our girls just what an awesomely diverse and beautiful world we live in. Last year (2018) we visited stunning Lake Maggiore in…
September seems to have disappeared in a flash – we’re already three quarters of the way through and here I am belatedly sharing photos from the beginning of the month. A few final adventures whilst we still had the freedom of the summer holidays, followed by the transition back to school and settling back into…
During the summer holidays I got the opportunity to tick one more item off of my ‘40 Things Before I’m 40‘ list… #35: take the girls to a festival. It’s been almost twelve months since I last managed to complete any of the tasks on my list, and I’ve only got a few years left…

September has arrived and the girls are back at school so I’m just over here reminiscing about the final stretch of the summer holidays that already feels like forever ago. Weeks five and six were a lot of fun and we loved having the teenager with us for a few days too. Here are our…
Somehow an entire month has been and gone since I took part in the ClickinMoms Annual Photo Hunt. How is that even possible? I feel like I’m in a constant state of bewilderment at how fast the days, weeks and months are flying past. I really should be more used to it by now. That…
Weeks four and five of the summer holidays brought mixed weather, mixed moods and mixed success with outings – we had some brilliant fun and some awful arguments, some glorious sunshine and some torrential rain. But, as I am constantly being reminded, the happy moments are there if you look for them, even if they’re…
August has been a funny old month. We’ve not really done very much and yet my head has still felt full – distracted I guess – with all sorts of things. I had grand hopes for fun day trips and exciting weekly adventures with the girls before quickly realising that they weren’t going to happen…
We are rapidly approaching the final few days of the summer holidays before the girls go back to school and here I am sharing what we got up to in Week 3. I guess that’s testament to what the summer has been like. My head has felt full of mush with regards to work and…
