30th May

We travelled on more public transport today. First the bus to the ferry and then onto the ferry to South Shields. We spent a few hours there including having lunch before heading back to the ferry and then the bus home. We also discovered that the South Shields ferry landing is called Maisie! Maisie was thrilled!



29th May

Oliver wanted to go on the Metro today so we took the Metro to Tynemouth, walked along to Cullercoats via the park, ate chips in the sea fret and then got the Metro home happy but a bit more damp than when we started!



28th May

A run around Beaconsfield this morning after breakfast out!



27th May

A day trip to Pirate Marra Camp. The weather was beautiful and it was a brilliant day so was impossible to narrow it down to 1 photograph. Maisie is ‘performing’ CPR (well, checking for breathing) by straddling the blow up torso!









26th May

Mummy and Daddy has a date tonight at the Theatre Royal. It was amazing!



25th May

Our newly decorated playroom is now complete! Much more space after a sort out. We’ll see long it is before it’s untidy!



24th May

Daddy was out tonight but it was Beavers so all three children joined in! They loved it!



23rd May

Maisie planting sunflowers at toddlers today.



22nd May

You’d never know that these two little people normally run a mile from a dog!



21st May

Maisie has taken to jigsaws recently and was very proud of herself for completing this alone! Ignore the hole in the tights!

Today was all about preparing for Afternoon Tea for 40 people! Mini trifles was the first job on the list.

This (not so little!) friend joined us on the patio tonight!

14th May

Mummy and Daddy had a meeting at school this afternoon so Jessica was able to walk home without siblings after school. She opted for the park on the way!

13th May

Jessica loved Rose’s animal petting party today!



12th May

Happy 7th Birthday George! Jessica loved the game of laser tag (Maisie and Oliver weren’t old enough to join in but they joined in the family garden party earlier in the day!).



11th May

We had a sneaky view of the new school from the upstairs of a new showhome!



10th May

Oliver sitting comfortably with his juice and biscuit after school today!



9th May

We went out for lunch with friends today straight after school. The highlight for the children was ice cream!



8th May

Oliver opted to go in the pram to school today (rather than on Mummy’s back) so that was some light relief in this heat!



7th May

Bank Holiday fun! We visited Newcastle’s Castle and Keep. Oliver particularly liked the fact it had an excellent view of the train station from the top of the Castle Keep!



6th May

Snack time at the local Food Festival!

5th May

Jessica loved her friend’s pottery birthday today. She’s looking forward to seeing her finished (once fired) unicorn next week!





4th May

Lunch and a play date this afternoon with friends in the sun!



3rd May

All three children were playing ‘sleeps’ together this afternoon. Mummy strongly encouraged this!



2nd May

Car fun at toddlers this afternoon! They are looking at the poster of Oliver!



1st May

Oliver is mastering the art of riding a balance bike!

30th April

The children enjoyed exploring the garden after we’d cut back the bushes and put some paving stones behind the bushes to help them find hiding holes!



29th April

Oliver was given the opportunity to ride a pony this afternoon and he loved it (after a tentative start!).



28th April

Maisie had a date with Mummy this afternoon as Jessica was at football and Oliver was with Grandparents. Maisie chose lunch at Sainsbury’s followed by the park in the rain!



27th April

One of the children left Jessica’s class today so we took a photo at the end of the day (probably obvious given the messy hair and uniforms plus cakes in hand after a day at school!) of them all together!



26th April

An example of a random photograph we find in our gallery!



25th April

When you need to go, you need to go!
