Having spent the morning getting sorted for Christmas I met up with my walking mates at Jakes house for an early afternoon drink. I was back at home by 7:30 and the plan was to go out for a drink with Jamie but she was not that keen when the people we were supposed to […]
Reagans plan for the last day of school has been planned for months and in her mind it was going to be perfect, school until 12:30 (no uniform day) followed by the traditional end of term Starbucks with friends and then ice skating which she had been studying on YouTube for weeks. It’s easy Daddy […]
Got absolutely drenched taking Billy for a walk in storm Ciarán the wind lashed the raining in to us the whole way round. As I hung my coat and trousers on the maid then sat eating my breakfast watching them form a puddle on the kitchen floor I thought about having to go to Northwich […]
I am finding it increasingly difficult to captain my team Steventons when we are getting soundly beaten every week. I love going out and meeting me mates but the responsibility is hard to manage as well as enjoy the evening too. I have always been able to lead from the front on the table but […]
At 5pm tonight I finished work until 2nd January which felt really great but I also know that Reagan & Lincoln still have 3 more days of school and Mommy doesn’t finish until Friday either. I am looking forward to the time off although I’m not sure I have wound down at all yet because […]

The lights were fantastic and the time laughing and enjoying each others company as a family. My favourite part was time spent with Reagan we held hands laughed joked it […]
Tonight Reagan asked if she could go out with her friend for an hour which would normally be an immediate yes but out after dark for the first time made us discuss it. As parents we fear new boundaries and certainly this one we knew would come but tonight was a surprise but we allowed […]
It was 16 years ago today that Jamie messaged me on MySpace, a story often told and very frequently thought of.
