The funniest ‘hide and seek’ this evening with the boys…..I ‘hid’ behind the (very open and see through) trellis in the garden (with a sneaky g&t) and the heard the boys calling, looking in the kitchen, under the table, behind the sofa….eventually they came out to the garden calling my name…couldn’t find me…so for a…

This poster was going to be used for a lovely picnic in the green with B2’s Playgroup friends and families …..who was to know a mere month ago I would have just jogged around our weeny London garden to ‘warm up’ for the now not occurring 5km on Saturday! I think I will still don…

As I stare out of the window, relishing a hot coffee and a hot cross bun the rain stops for a millisecond! Outrageous! I was getting my adopted Brit moan on about the constant wet but then the yellow daffodils and the emerging blossoms made me smile….. It was half term last week and I…

B1 thought shouting ‘Ho Ho Ho’ was the best way to help decorate and B2 exclaimed ‘Spooky’! at everything…

Don’t say it! Yes it’s the C word…..CHRISTMAS …..! arghh ! I have seen the corners of shops tentatively trying to push the first of the Christmas cards into a more prominent position, the ‘ironic’ seasonal jumpers on the rails and of course M&S has decided it is perfectly fine and we can feel ok…

My lovely friend A asked me to do a wee poster for her husband who recently turned the big 40…they are such a beautiful family and have such a cool outlook and interests, this made it easy to draw and get excited about. There’s nothing like researching and sketching food and fun things like LEGO…

“Hungry”! Boy2 – Thursday morning . Blogging on a rainy Sunday Welcome to the world of blogging I said this morning, now 3 hours later swearing at the laptop, imbibing my 5th cup of coffee whilst slummy mumming and letting Boy1 watch endless Octonauts….
