Our week in numbers… Posted on March 30, 2014November 8, 2024 By Becky 2 :: the Number of pigtail plaits I can now do with Sasha’s hair. Big hair moment here! 30 :: minutes I spent in Cafe Nero on Thursday afternoon, trying (and failing) to hook up to their wifi. 7.45 :: the time I met my friend Becca at Senzala Creperie in Brixton, for THE most amazing catch up pancakes. I had the ‘Spaniard’ buckwheat pancake to start (cheese, chorizo, spinach, tomato), and we shared a Belgium chocolate, hazelnut and cream crepe for dessert, washed down with diet cokes. Uh-Mazing. 76 :: pieces of vintage crockery and accessories I have cleaned and photographed this week. 5 :: times I read ‘Peppa’s Easter Egg Hunt’ in a row, before losing my mind. 0 :: nights where the children have slept through this week. 6 :: sugars in ONE single cup of tea that I made for one of the roofers who was putting up scaffolding next door. SIX! 5.30 :: am. The average time Freddie has woken up this last week. One of the downsides of the lighter mornings… 7 :: days where I have consumed vast quantities of chocolate. I REALLY need to kick this sugar habit. 2 :: raspberry plants that have survived benign neglect and winter storms, and are now shooting new er, shoots like never before! 3 :: bottles of Calpol that have been consumed by both poorly children. 1 :: ticket to ‘Britmums’ Live bought! Hope you had a great week, and have been illness-free- there seem to be so many bugs around at the moment!

We have exchanged! Posted on May 14, 2019January 3, 2022 This is a post that 6 months ago I wasn’t sure I was ever going to be able to write… Almost a year to the day since I first went to view a house on a whim with my Mum, our chain finally exchanged contracts last Friday, and I can’t… Read More
Family Diary Things that have made me happy this week Posted on January 14, 2016August 13, 2021 Morning! I thought I would write a Gratitude Express post, the first of a brand new year (albeit 2 weeks late!). I’m so excited about 2016, and all that it might bring. In an increasingly scary world, I figure it’s all about looking for the good that there is in… Read More
Arlo Arlo’s Christening Posted on December 3, 2018 This post is slightly late as I had domain issues with my blog last week and my entire site was out of action for 6 days- total nightmare! I couldn’t not add a few photos documenting Arlo’s christening though. We don’t have many as my main camera is also broken… Read More
