Slept like a baby last night – soooo good. I loved waking up and pottering down to breakfast like it was 2005 again… Only this time Jan-Willem (the oldest boy) was now at school and it was his little bro, Jack (who’d been grumpily distant last night) who was grinning at me and bringing his [...]

I had a great sleep last night, tucked up under two sleeping bags, a blanket and a quilt! Not that it was particularly cold, but there’s just something so comforting in having that many covers!

A day full of coffee! I had lots of great conversation with several great people. But the biggest highlight was a proper chat with my dad. He listened to me and responded like I’m a grown-up and not just a little girl.

Also this year it turns out my new-found ability to make water lilies out of napkins makes me very cool with the younger crowd. Oh. My. Days… Johnny Depp in Finding Neverland.

Hurrah for new people joining blogland! Today I met the delightful grandchildren of a couple from church. Four of them: three boys and a girl, aged between 14 and 22. Honestly, I don’t know if I’ve ever seen siblings get along like they did. No beastly banter, no picking on the baby girl of the [...]

Another lie-in to be grateful for and a brunch of bananas on toast – one of those simple pleasures we often forget! With real butter too! yum yum… A late afternoon jaunt to Junction One with mumsie and a Chinese feast on return! A catch up with church friends over a game of Cranium (I [...]
