Let the Xmas Celebrations Begin
With only 2 weeks to go until Christmas Eve, we’ve just returned from a weekend away in Bristol and the first of our Christmas celebrations. The weekend started when school finished on Friday and we started our drive to my parents house. It was my Mum’s 60th birthday so we were meeting up with all...
Dinosaurs in da House
Morgan got his kid wood construction set out the other day and with a little bit of help from Anna they soon built a pretty impressive looking T-Rex. It’ll live with the Pterodactyl that he and I built earlier in the year. Hope you like it. In this photo you can even see what Morgan thinks are...
All Ready for Advent
Hooray, Christmas is coming and we’re all ready for advent with our advent calendars on the table and ready to be opened tomorrow. Anna’s is the Hotel Chocolate one, Morgans the really cool Lego one and mine is the Octonauts (whatever they are) one! Morgan has had a Lego advent calendar a few times now...
Christmas Day – 1 month Early
Having been to New Zealand this year we are having to have a less extravagant Christmas than usual in order to save some money. No big four bird roast for us this year, not even a big goose or turkey instead we were planning to have a £10 3 bird roast from Iceland! Whilst in...
Morgan’s Imaginashon!
Morgan drew this picture of Alan yesterday while he was waiting for me to finish work. Apparently it is Alan from his imagination and he asked me to post it up here for everyone to see!
Mmmmm, Coffee and Cake!

Instead, a post about cake! One of my favourite things about...
Trees, Gardens and Jetlag – New Zealand Day 22
Well, the day had finally come, our last day in New Zealand – Boo! It was an early start with breakfast in the camper. Well actually it was a double breakfast for me as I had one before the others got up and then another one once they were awake. We then took the camper...
The Firth of Thames and Orere Point – New Zealand Day 21
With our holiday coming towards its end, we had a late(ish) start to the day with breakfast in the camper van at Opal Springs Campsite before driving to Matamata for a Countdown supermarket to buy some final supplies and presents for everyone. Whittakers chocolate, Cookie Time Cookies and Pineapple lumps all round – Mmm Mmm!...
Race Day – A Supporter’s Perspective
I feel like we’ve been preparing almost as hard as Alan for this race. OK, we haven’t been out running, cycling and swimming everyday but we have been there in the background supporting away since he qualified for the World Championships back in May. I’ve made sure he has all the healthy snacks he needs...
