If you’ve followed me for a while you’ll know that we visit Bude in North Cornwall every year and this year was no different – we spent the first week of the Easter holidays there. Whenever we go we make sure that we fulfill certain traditions (like having an ice cream every day) and do…
Hello May! It’s been a bit of an odd couple of weeks – going back to school after the Easter holidays and getting back into the routine of packed lunches, remembering PE kits, after school clubs and homework, only to then have an extra day off because of the May Day Bank Holiday. We’re all…
Every year for the last few years, since the girls have been old enough to properly appreciate it really, we’ve headed off on a family adventure in search of bluebells. It’s become a bit of a tradition as it’s usually around the time of my birthday that they’re all in bloom (though this year they’re a…
I take hundreds of photos every month, and most of them don’t get shared with anyone, let alone online. And yet the moments in time that those photos capture are just as important a part of our story as the other images that I do choose to share. I created this blog as a way…
I only decided halfway through today, a bank holiday Saturday, that I wanted to document it. I don’t know what inspired me. I just suddenly had a gut-wrenching urge to capture ‘us’. All of us.

Gosh this month seems to have zoomed by… again! I feel like I say it in pretty much every post I write (and to be fair I probably do), but I just don’t know where this year is disappearing to. April was a month of sunshine, family time and plenty of treats – it’s been…
The second half of the Easter holidays felt like it whizzed by in a blur and even though we didn’t have many plans for the week the girls and I ended up having a really lovely time together. The girls had a few playdates, we had some slow days and some busy days and generally just enjoyed hanging…
Every year we visit Bude in North Cornwall for a week-long family holiday. I’ve written before about how both my husband and I spent a lot of time there as children and how we’re now passing on the tradition with our girls by returning to the same place and making plenty of new memories together…
As I sit here typing this it’s the middle of the Easter holidays and we’ve not long arrived home from a week-long holiday in Cornwall. The husband is on his way back from taking the teenager home (*sob* – we’ve loved having her for the week and wish she could stay for longer) and I’m taking a break…
We crawled towards the end of the Spring term tired, emotional and run down. All of us were so very ready for a break from school, work and the day-to-day routine and being able to spend the first week of the Easter holidays in Bude in Cornwall was exactly what we needed. There will be…
