The joy of tandem part 2: being THREE

So the whole point of getting the tandem was NOT using the car for short journeys, but that doesn’t always work.

The end is nigh

So, the Cutester is now 9.

I know from previous experience, in the form of her older sister, that there is a vast gulf between 8 and 9. The truth was forced on me when I took the Redster to H&M Kids just after she’d turned 9 herself, and we found the shop divided into 0-8s … and 9-14s. I had to walk past all the Hello Kitty nighties and stripy tights and buy my little girl clothes from the teenage section. I was traumatised.

All the best Christmas presents have wheels

Everyone was out trying their new wheels when we went to Cardiff Bay yesterday

A Christmas shocking

This is the baby who was found, with his umbilical cord still attached, in the manger of a church nativity scene in New York City.

Of bikes and bushcraft

Back in June the Redster and I went on our own exclusive Mummy-and-Redster weekend away.

Home for the weekend

Ready!

Primary school outgrown and it’s time to move on. (The socks are outgrown, that’s for sure)

Yup, no blog for six weeks. It seems that my life is all about spinning plates, and when too many of them require my attention at once, the blog one wobbles sadly to the ground…

So long, and thanks for the molars

The Redster has just had four adult molars extracted at University College Hospital under general anaesthetic. I write this sitting next to her trolley/bed while she plays Minecraft on my laptop, with remarkable concentration for someone who was unconscious less than 30 minutes ago.
