After yesterday it was always going to be a lazy day even though I went to Uncle Karl’s to help him move a washing machine first thing. I bought some hinges for the impending doors arriving this week and cut them into the closet door frame while listening to Portsmouth vs Oxford which was a […]
They say a picture paints a thousand words and this one tells the story of how Jamie is able to get almost everyone together. What it doesn’t show is how much effort time and money she also puts in to make us all happy. A lamb roast with all the trimmings followed by cakes lovingly […]
Are you kidding me I am on Holiday I got two weeks off why now? It came on swiftly on Thursday afternoon and floored me for the rest of the day. A rough night followed and as I described yesterday I am not sure how I managed especially because of how I felt this morning […]
With a rendezvous with Patty and Ian planned we set off for the Silverstone race circuit to visit the Museum which sounded like a great day out add on to that a walk around Oxford and look at the University was a brilliant way to spend the day with our friends. Unfortunately I went to […]

Reagan decided to attend Easter school to brush up her math skills hoping to improve her chances of a five in the subject. Lincoln was off to Winsford with a couple of friends to video a scene for a play they are creating so Jamie and me went for a walk up to Norman’s Wood […]
It was nice to walk up to see me mum on a Sunday morning after Jamie and the kids left for church. Another slow start was not on the cards but me moving the clock in the bedroom forward an hour exacerbated Jamies morning. She went from having two hours before needing to be at […]
