Sunflowers just make my heart happy
Autumn days have begun, 1st September and we were at The Pop Up Farm for sunflowers I adore them, and the Pop Up Farm, it’s definitely one of our happy places to go in the autumn. Its only about twenty minutes from home too which is a bonus. Grayson is already on a countdown as to how many days it is until they open for pumpkin season! To be honest I am too! Such a gorgeous setting, so quirky with the piano and the bathtub amongst the flowers. Perfect for photos, and thankfully they all cooperated today and we had no meltdowns – think there is a first time…

Bobbing About On The Broads
What a perfect sunny Sunday for an impromptu mini break in Norfolk! Child free and a sunny day I headed towards Norwich and checked into Sprowston Manor, a spa and golf hotel. It looked really nice and lived up to my expectations. Lovely sweeping driveway, crossing the golf course, and arriving at the 16th century English Manor that houses the hotel. First impressions and all that, and it was so far so good. Lovely reception area, really friendly staff and a very easy painless check in. Headed up to my room and was pleasantly surprised as to how spacious it is. I’ll let you see for yourself with the video…

Work from anywhere …..
The joy of being self employed is that I can literally work from anywhere. Although when I am on holiday with my family I am not too sure I love that benefit! Hahah its like the world and its wife knows I am away, has holiday envy and is after a quote / booking to get in on the act! In all seriousness, I am more than happy to send them over, its great to be busy especially after the ‘covid’ years, travel is really picking up. Auntie Katie has taken the girls to the pool, and I am sitting in the sunshine – read that as keep moving to…

Birthday Bluebells
Bluebell season is here again, and probably almost done, so what better than some birthday bluebells for Ruby! I have to get my annual bluebell photo fix, the children knew it was coming, but it never somehow prepares them to cooperate and actually just smile at the damn camera. I mean how hard is it really? Like seriously, it could just be so simple, but no photo session is that way is it, always ends in me yelling like crazy woman, them running all over the place, meltdowns and absolute blooming’ chaos! It was however still gorgeous and we all had fun, and I got my annual photos. There is…

Sunny Sunday at Wrest Park
Sunny Sunday’s are meant for exploring parks! We headed off to Wrest Park in Silsoe, Bedfordshire. It’s only about 40 mins or so away from us. Wrest Park is managed by English Heritage and is free to members. For over 600 years the Wrest estate was home to one of the leading aristocratic families in the country, the de Greys. Apparently every generation has had a different impact on the estate over the years. With over 90 acres of grounds there is plenty to explore and enjoy. We arrived just after lunch and naturally the children wanted to immediately hang out in the playground! I managed to convince Grayson and Hallie that…

Spring Fix
Spring fix this morning! Needed a blast of fresh spring air, to start what’s turning into a busy day. Everyone is going cruise crazy 🚢 and are keeping me busy. It was so lovely in the woods, the birds were cheeping – no parakeet’s today, but it was definitely sounding like the woods were awakening. Blossoms were blooming, buds were emerging on the trees and it just felt alive. Some days, ok most days, I need a nature fix, to ground me and to awaken me.Quick walk with Salsa, along with a large coffee, and some fresh air and I’m ready to take on the world – well maybe take…
