Jamie worked till 8 tonight but still found time to cook herself and the kids some tea leaving me lots of time once I’d finished work and taken Billy, so I had an hour in me shed playing darts. A great way to unwind and forget about the 2 hour meeting I had to finish […]
Tonight, I tried to explain what time it will be at each stage of our journey, and it got confusing, so I I had to write it down. Basically we leave Manchester at 14:30GMT and arrive in Denver 06:04GMT but we have booked a hotel next to the airport so hopefully we can stay awake […]
It was really good to get away walking in the Lakes yesterday and enjoyed a night out last night too but this morning I was already looking forward to getting home again. I don’t think it’s a bad thing that if either me or Jamie go away alone, we always crave to come back to […]

Reagan went back to school today after spending the weekend convalescing and as her Mom waved her off I just saw that glimmer of empowerment she has and just thought, she won’t spend the whole day at school, they’ll phone to say she needs to be picked up. Lincoln just gets on with life wearing […]
