We have had one busy extended bank holiday weekend! It has been really fun, despite me getting ill and having to go straight to bed when we got home on Monday, and not being quite right since. Friday lunchtime we headed over to the local children’s centre for their jubilee picnic. It was held jointly …
We have got one busy weekend ahead of us, let me tell you! Our schedule for the weekend runs a little something like this: Friday – Jubilee celebration picnic at our local children’s centre Saturday – Being visited by James’s mum & her parents. We don’t get to see Georgie’s great grandparents very often so …
The 3 of us headed to the NEC to check out The Baby Show today, thanks to the lovely Hannah over at A New Addition who gave us a pair of tickets she had going spare. The show was quite fun – it was great to see a lot of the products I am interested …
We headed over to my mother in laws yesterday to let the dogs out while Ruth was at a dog show. We had lunch while we were there (mmmmm, KFC) and then sat outside on the grass for a while with Georgie & dogs and enjoyed the unexpected sunshine. The dogs really enjoyed us having …
My mother in law Ruth decided to treat James, Georgie & myself to a day at the zoo today, and so we ignored the grey skies and my poorly tum, and set out to visit the animals! Georgie was really well-behaved despite her teething troubles – although admittedly we did give her some calpol to …
Determined to make the most of the glorious weather we have been enjoying, my little family & I have been having fun exploring our local parks recently. A week or so ago we visited a local community project, Hope St Park. Georgie & I have been there before on our own to walk the dog, …
Some days, it’s is just too nice to stay indoors. Saturday, cold though it was, was definitely one of those days. James, Georgie & I (along with Homily, of course) spent an hour or so at my Mother-in-Law’s house at lunchtime so that we could let the dogs out, as Ruth was out at a …
We went to stay in Ireland for a week in December, visiting my father-in-law Anthony & his wife Jen. Although the weather was very cold and windy we had a lovely stay, and it was great for Georgie to be able to spend so much time with her Grandfather & “Grandma Jen” – she hasn’t had much time to bond with them or for them to get to know her in the past, because of the minor fact of them living in another country!
While we were there we spent some time exploring – we visited Sligo, did a bit of shopping, had numerous coffees and meals out (enjoying some Irish beef!), and generally had a nice relaxing holiday. Georgie wasn’t keen on the cold weather and we had to turn around & head back to the car every time we tried to take her for a walk in one of the slings, unfortunately – even wrapped up the wind and rain/sleet/snow were just too much for her (and for me too!).
The travelling was interesting to say the least – although to her credit my little Georgiana was incredibly well behaved, with minimum fuss and tears! The journey over we broke overnight with a stay in a Travelodge in North Wales, but on the way back we started early and drove across Ireland, took a 2 hour ferry journey, then drove across Wales and half of England to get home in one day! At one point we didn’t think we would even make it off the island because the weather was so awful and the roads were incredibly treacherous with the ice – James was fantastic but we still nearly came off the road a few times, and witnessed a worrying number of accidents and abandoned cars as we drove across the country!
