Getting up

Watching Lincoln bat tonight it was so frustrating to see him missing the ball and then getting hit which I know from experience hurts but it makes me proud when I watch him get up even though I know he’s in a bit of pain. It takes a lot to bat on at that age. […]

On my own again

With Mommy down in London for a couple of days, smashing it in her job, I sit here on my own again Lincoln went on a play date at Kyles house today and later on I took Reagan to horseriding and stayed to watch. I would love to watch her more but this afternoon proved […]

Worked in me shed

It rained today and although Jamie and me got to walk Billy to Starbies for a Sunday morning walk we only got a little wet. When we got back I went to work on my shed to see if I could get the two brackets made that will hold up the gable overhang at the […]

Boring is brilliant!

With kids about old enough to be left alone with a set of simple instructions, don’t answer the door, no cooking and no candles. The latter aimed at Reagan who has a liking for bats with candles copying her Momma, but we ha e had to nip in the bud because it’s dangerous! So with […]

Another hot day

So Britain is experiencing a heatwave at the moment which is due to end tonight and cooler temperatures are forecast tomorrow. It was 37? at 14:00 this afternoon although because of cloud cover the heat was not as fierce as yesterday. I get panicky and frustrated when they say that the sun won’t shine as […]

The hottest day

Sent the kids off to school this morning covered in factor 50 sun cream with temperatures expected to reach the mid thirties. I arrived home around 13:30 and my car was showing 34? and I reckoned it was getting hotter…? Knowing the kids would be hot and cranky when they got home I wrote a […]
