October Book Shoot - 1

As usual it’s been quite eventful round these parts. On Saturday at 03.26am my sister gave birth to a boy, Henry, via C-Section. He came in at a rather large 9 lbs 4 oz and is doing very well indeed. We’re all absolutely delighted that he’s here and doing well and the thought of him [...]

Make your own badge!

On Saturday we did what a great many people around the country did, we headed to the nearest beach. We were in the car for THREE hot, stinking hours. It was miserable because at some point you have to give up your lovely plans of a day on the beach with the kids and turn [...]
