Reagan has a horseriding day today which she has had on many occasions and there is a competition between all the participants and she always does well but today in the sweltering heat she only bloody won ? How much prouder could I possibly be, she loves riding and it’s something she’s stuck at even […]
After a tough day at the coal face it was great to finish work and walk out into the garden and join the kids wallowing in the pool trying to keep cool from another 30?+ day When Mommy finished work and hour later this is what she saw when stepping out of her office. We […]

As I crawled into bed last night, exhausted after hosting Ian and Jim as they passed through on their vacation, I snuggled down Jamie said “Did you do a blog today?” waking me up instantly. Looking at the clock it said 12:34 which meant Mey streak was over, I had blogged everyday for 180 days […]
