Our half term break

I love school holidays. I love having the chance to spend more time with my girls and doing different things with them. Katie has been delightful this half term which meant we got to do lovely things together. It makes such a difference to everyone’s moods! Robyn went away to stay with her dad from [...]

Snow Sunday

We have snow! Quite alot of snow! We took the girls to the park earlier with the sledge. When we set off the snow was still coming down but quite gently. As we walked along I was smiling, thinking how lovely it was. Oh how things can change! When we got to the park it [...]

Best of 2009: Car Ride

I don’t drive so for me going out in the car usually means I get to sit down and relax! We live in valley in the middle of the Pennines. The scenery is out of this world. It often means driving up and down tiny roads that are very steep though. There is one particular [...]
