Here I am trying to finally get a little bit of my 2017 retrospective blog finished, but it’s distraction after distraction! Now Bagheera wants some attention and keeps walking over my laptop. He is such a lovable cat that I can’t resist. Plus, today he finally brought home a kill for us. We’ve had many […]

Today’s breakfast of choice is sultana and chia seed porridge with honey… I love porridge. I eat it most days and to be honest it fills me so much at lunch time I’m still not that hungry. A great way to start the day. #notsponsored by @quakeroatsuk (but open to offers 🤣) . . #food […]

However…….tonight EVERY teacher was so positive about her and pleased with her. Couldn’t be […]

It’s #tbt and it was parents evening tonight so I thought I would throw way back to a traditional first day back at school photo from when I was about G’s age! Keeping it real with the hands in the pocket cool guy look. Except I wasn’t really that cool 🤣 . . #tbthursday #oldtimes […]
