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!

This hardly ever happens (when we really we should make more effort to do this), and… Read More
Family Diary A few snaps from Bedford River Festival Posted on July 18, 2016 On Saturday we ventured the couple of hours north back to my hometown of Bedford for the bi-annual River Festival.
