The Natural History Museum

Posted in Family, Out and About, Photo on March 8, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Little’un has recently developed a thirst for knowledge which, whilst obviously a Good Thing, can be hard work at times.  She’s particularly interested in bones and muscles and so forth at the moment so where better to take her than the NHM?  More bones than you can shake a well proportioned tibia at.
Well we had [...]

Mud, mud, glorious mud…

We went for a tramp through the fields today, sadly the most wholesome outdoorsy thing we have done recently after what seems like weeks of rain.  I used to go walking far more often than I do now, in landscape somewhat hillier than that of South Lincolnshire, and I had forgotten how much I love [...]

Costa Calida, Murcia, Spain

Posted in Family, Life, Out and About, Photo on April 29, 2008 | 2 Comments »

We went to southern Spain for our holiday this year – I have been at pains to make sure that everyone knew we weren’t going on a McHoliday to Blackpool-in-the-Sun but once we got there we realised that whilst there aren’t a vast number of British holidaymakers on the Costa Calida there are plenty of [...]

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

I got soaking wet on the way to work one day last week as I had to stop and get this shot – unhappily for me the wind was blowing in my direction so as soon as I opened the car window I got the full force of the gale in my face.  I had [...]

Best Laid Plans…

Little’un and I made it to the farm park this weekend but not on Saturday as originally planned.  I collected her from nursery on Friday evening to be handed a party invitation… for a party at 11am the following day… which apparently had got forgotten about lost behind a radiator.  Cue frantic phone calls to the [...]

The Spinnaker Tower and Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth

Posted in Out and About, Photo on September 24, 2007 | 4 Comments »

The Yorkshireman and I took the opportunity of a Little’un-free day whilst on holiday to take a trip to Portsmouth.  A two minute walk from the ferry terminal finds you in Gunwharf Quays, a designer outlet shopping centre.  Given that I have an Asda George budget and an Evans figure I did nothing in the way [...]

Isle of Wight 2007

So, a whole 6 weeks after getting back from our holiday in St Helens on the Isle of Wight, I am now finally getting round to posting some pics
We stayed here in a static caravan and found it a great base from which to explore the island.  Of course, the Isle of Wight [...]

It still hasn’t stopped raining

The view from the car whilst out and about on Saturday afternoon:

It had cheered up sufficiently on Sunday for us to spend the day at the seaside, and Little’un got to have a ride on Smokey the Donkey, who is her new bestest friend:

The effect of all the rain on the local countryside is nothing [...]

We’re all going on a summer holiday…

Hahahahaha (weep)
On Saturday we are off on our hols.  We are having a traditional English seaside holiday this year, perfect if the weather is good.  We are staying at a resort that has both beaches and interesting rock pools for toddler entertainment and pubs and restaurants for Mummy and Daddy entertainment.  I have been obsessively [...]
