Daisies
DaisyWe got our first sight of the lovely Daisy sitting in the tall car area of the Gatwick airport arrivals car park. Nanna and Grandad's latest baby is a brilliant VW camper van. A VW T25, known in the States as a vanagon, so not the classic icon that you envisage when you say "VW camper van" and that currently appears to be the design focus of ( Read more... ) -
The further adventures of Snuggle Pea.
While I was engrossed in journal land Bea got all dressed up and accompanied Grandad for a walk on the moors with Molly this morning. She wore her little wellies and waterproof puddle suit and rode in the jogging stroller. When they returned I heard that they had been to see lots of Dartmoor ponies and sheep, and had examined many trees on their ( Read more... ) -

Down on the farm.
Still raining and miserable here. The relentless raindrops are making a thunderous noise drumming on the conservatory roof. I'm afraid I wimped out of going to the hash this evening.

First the kids succumb one by one and turn into unpleasant little sprites to be cared for ( Read more... ) -
Twisted Ankle Half Marathon 2010 (aka Oops I Did It Again.)
The next morning I got up and ran the Twisted Ankle half marathon again. For real this time. The night in the tent had been quiet but fairly sleepless. The kids were great, but I'd tossed and turned and the night passed fitfully ( Read more... ) -
Twisted Ankle Half Marathon 2010
The morning started off well. I woke up refreshed having had a good night's sleep. The kids were nice to me and once night fell everyone slumbered peacefully under canvas. I did not have a little green kitty cat roaming the tent, or get body slammed by a giggling Baby Bea while I slept ( Read more... ) -
Right Moves For Youth Twilight 5k
My nagging second thoughts about having signed up for the Right Moves for Youth Twilight 5K were already strong when I woke up to another uncomfortably hot day in Charlotte on Friday. After a very enjoyable but sweaty morning running the kid laden double jogger around a three and half mile course with my friend and her two little ones I was really ( Read more... ) -
