Hip to be square

Lincoln asked “Is it hard to make a door?” when he saw what I was doing, my immediate thought was to say ‘yes’ because at the time he walked into my shed, I had completed cutting the lap joints on all parts of the frame and laid it out, clamped it up and was trying […]

Dark nights

With the weather turning and nights drawing in I had to install some sort of lighting because even during the day it was nigh on impossible to see well enough to work accurately. Yesterday I had the idea to install a permanent supply including consumer unit, armoured cable etc but upon reflection I am no […]

When they get around to it…

My work ethic is something I am proud of and means if I work for you, your going to get an employee you can depend on and will be there when needed, always. We are due to visit London as a family for Lincoln’s birthday next t weekend, something Mommy had planned to do for […]

R.I.P Queen Elizabeth II

When the “Breaking News” started to filter through this afternoon that the health of the Queen had deteriated it was not a shock that it was announced a couple of hours later that she had passed away… Huge news in this countries history and hard to imagine Britain without her in it? We are privileged […]

Steventons Pool 2022

The MADPL winter league 22/23 season started tonight and we were away at 8 Farmers in Crewe who we have had some good tussles with over the last couple of seasons but tonight it was a bit one sided scoreline wise although most of the frames were close our lack of practice showed when it […]

Pancakes are the law before school starts back, just a tradition Mommy […]

Summer 2022 is over

That feeling I get every year, when the schools reopen after the summer holidays and the weather has just turned towards winter and away from hot days, is something I have become aware I feel each year? Both children are so excited to go back to school and are already in bed after packing their […]

Working Sunday

After writing last nights blog Lincoln went to bed but threw up the Calpol this time all over his bed clothes, so we decided best to cover the sofa with blankets and let him watch TV sat up allowing his tummy to stay where it is. I stripped his bed and got that in the […]

Honestly ill

I can not remember the last time either child was sick so when Lincoln took a turn this afternoon it was unusual, although he does suffer the odd headache, but paracetamol usually perks him up. He got on the couch and went to sleep and stayed there until tea time and although he did eat […]

Door casing

The sad thing is I find it hard to explain how it makes me feel when I am out working on my shed I can loose myself for a few hours working out how it goes together and then create something. I want to get better at woodworking and try to look at the end […]
