Tweet Wow, New Year’s Eve. The end of 2015, and a whole year to look forward to. I have to say, I am not a fan of New Year in a party sense – the whole forced jollity of it, counting down to midnight, and then… well, it’s just another day. You might as well […]

Thankful Thursday #2
Tweet It’s been a busy week this week. I spent the weekend decorating Eldest’s bedroom, watched Youngest’s football match and ironing. Work has been pretty busy too, as usual before half term, and I feel a bit like I have rushed from one thing to the next, just trying to remember all the things I […]
Fooling Around and Family Fun
Tweet Today is day 3 of the BEDM challenge, and already I am going off-piste a little, because I want to tell you about a favourite pass-time of mine – fooling around with my children. For all the stress and upset that my children sometimes cause me – having two boys, with less than a […]
Playing Catchup with BEDM
Tweet Today, via my lovely sister in law, Amanda, I came across the BEDM hashtag. Being a nosy so-and-so, I wanted to know what it meant, and how I could join in (no-one likes being left out, right?). It turns out BEDM stands for Blog Every Day in May and is hosted by Elizabeth at Rosalilium. As much […]
New Beginnings, New Challenges – Happy New Year 2014
Tweet Ah, that’s better. The tree is down, the cards sorted for recycling, the last mince pie has been eaten and the sherry banished to the back of the cupboard until next year. Much fun has been had, presents lovingly given and received. But now, in keeping with tradition, the house has been tidied and […]
Weekend Walk – Lacy’s Caves and Long Meg
Tweet Waking up yesterday morning, it was such a glorious spring-like day that we couldn’t not go for a walk. The children boys had been sleeping over at their grandparents’ house so we got up and went to collect them, then headed off to Little Salkeld, where we had heard of a nice walk to […]
A Day Out At Wray Castle
Tweet About eighteen months ago we took a trip to Wray Castle. It was in Ben’s Rocky Rambler book and a walk he really wanted to do. It was cold, snowy and icy (it being December). Foolishly he let me have the map, and very quickly we got lost and gave up, went back to […]
Guest Blog Post: Walla Crag
Tweet Another guest post from Ben, and with a snippet from Josh too. This was our walk up to Walla Crag yesterday. Josh: Walking to Walla Crag was really fun. We had a really nice picnic and found two geocaches. The view was very good, and I liked the waterfalls by the bridge. […]

Dogs
Tweet I have been trying to get photos of the dog running, which are in focus, and this is the closest I have come (so far). Will keep trying…
