I’m now getting to hear about lots of competitions and here is a great one, but the closing date is 5 May 2009, so you have to hurry if you want your kids to enter. Kids have to be aged 7-11 years but the prize is fantastic! British Lion eggs are embarking on a star-studded…
Ocarina Special and the Giant Chick
Yesterday was the day. The ocarina special and the Giant Chick show was at long last showing its last performance in the lounge. There have been two performances, one for Granny and this final one for Daddy. The whole brood performed and played various roles with the hand puppets. To summarise the Giant Chick was…

A visit to see Drake!
Duck and Drake came to us. Yesterday, we felt we should go and see them! The brood were behaving like trapped animals, and the noise levels were just too great for Granny, so we had to take them out. A bit like letting animals out for a bit of fresh air. We took them to…
Easter weekend! Ocarina’s are a success!
Easter Sunday arrived, my Mother was coming to visit too. Even the Easter bunny paid a visit, which thrilled the brood. Although this was all over by 830am on the Sunday!

Mr and Mrs Magpie – Two For Joy!
What a turn up for the books! Today two magpies came to visit. The sun had just come out again in the garden this afternoon. I was just experiencing that low feeling mid-afternoon, you know the one when the day is speeding away and the time is ever fast approaching for collecting the kids. That…
Duck and Drake Come to Visit
Mr Whippy had gone for a run thank goodness! and breakfast / the lunchbox rush was coming to an end. Activity was moving to the hall – getting closer to the time of departure. Gathering up our belongings, you can almost hear me say it: “Shoes on, coats on, come on! Grab your bags and…
Not again – forgot the guitar!
Note to self: must get more organised – a noticeboard or some kind of reminder. Can no longer keep all the brood’s activities in my head – guitar, flute, football, netball, swimming, orchestra, choir, piano, let alone my stuff! Am I getting old or forgetful or are they just doing too much? It happened on…
