The beds are comfortable and I have a lovely nights sleep until I wake up. Phil says is 6am which doesn’t seem too bad considering the jetlag etc. Katie wakes up and she’s in a bit of a grumpy mood and really cross with Molly for being fast asleep. [...]

The longest day
We decided to eat breakfast at the travelodge. Not something I normally do at £7.50 a breakfast, but what the heck, we are on holiday. And apart from that, we have absolutely no idea where we are, or what is nearby. Breakfast was ok, but I am not in the holiday mode because [...]

This ain’t no Posturepedic
We are counting down all week, and excitement is building to feverish proportions, only slightly tempered by the fact that the kids are doing skate school all week and we’ve been getting up at 5:30am each morning for skating, and then returning home after lunch only slightly shattered!
Friday morning arrives, and [...]

A few weeks ago a friend of mine shared some gorgeous handbags she had
made. I was quite inspired, but not quite ready to try a handbag,
so I bought some lovely fabric and then pondered what to do with it.
There was the very real risk of the fabric sitting in my pile and

I stumbled upon this lovely free digi kit yesterday, so I decided to do a quick layout of Molly and her skating medal.
On Sunday mornings, they run competitions at the rink. Molly has entered a few times, and on Sunday she came third! Which was a great result, and she was thrilled to bits with her medal.
After skating, she went for a bike ride with Phil and mastered cycling without her stabilisers! [...]
Molly went skating with the big kids yesterday morning. Normally she has to go later in the day when it is busy, but because it is quiet at Easter she got to come in first thing in the morning and skate.
She has got her first program, which I attempted to video. She is skating [...]
It’s the first day of the easter holidays today, and whilst Katie was off making Jewellry at a class, Molly wanted to go to the beach. We live about 3 minutes from the beach and I go as rarely as possible, it’s just not something that appeals to me, all that sand between your toes [...]
Some friends and I chat online quite often, and we realised recently that we’d been chatting for 5 years. That’s an awful lot of gossip!
In celebration of all that hot air, we had a little cybercrop, and I did some layouts last night. Its been a while since I did much [...]
Katie & I, along with my parents, went down to Telford on Thursday for their Open. It was a good day, and Katie had a great skate. She ended up a very respectable 8th out of 21, and landed her Axel.
Thanks to Dad for doing the video, [...]
