Well hung

Managed to spend an hour or so fitting the door tonight having done most of the work over the weekend I marked out where the hinges were on the shed and drilled the holes for the hinges, thankfully everything lined up and heypresto I have a door… Lots of work left to do but I […]

Economics

We went to the Rookery Wood for lunch and discussed econo.ics specifically saving for things and how bills and out goings affect the ability to save. We explained that you can always earn more money by doing chores to supplement pocket money which means your savings grow quicker but you have to remember that spending […]

Multi purpose building

I know I know I call it my shed but let’s be truthful I would love to think that when it’s habitable with a door (coming very soon) and windows it will be a place I can use as a shed or workshop to make stuff in especially out of wood (which I get so […]

The door

My goal this weekend is to get my door to the point where I can think about hanging it. Today I glued and screwed the tongue and groove skin to the frame ready for the flange frame to be fitted tomorrow possibly but I can see that the 15mm thick wood I bought needs to […]

Toothache

Reagan was referred a few weeks ago by the orthodontice to have 4 teeth extracted 3 bad ones and a good one to keep things even and to make room for braces to straiten the rest of them but over the last couple of days she has complained about pain from the top left one. […]

Harvest the Crop

It was only when I cropped the photo below as my lock screen on my phone that it changed from a nice touristy snap…. ….into one of my all time favourite photos of Reagan and Lincoln! They not only look happy in this photo, they actually were having the best time and I loved spending […]

A moment in history

Today we were given the day off as a Bank Holiday to pay our respects to HRH Queen Elizabeth II and watch the state which was blanket coverage on every station. I chose the BBC and they did their usual superb job and I basically watched it all day and it made me proud to […]

She’s a class lass

A boat ride was the main event today but Reagan and Lincoln were desperate to visit The Clink museum by the hotel first which was met with mixed reactions while there from interesting to terrified and most in between too…but we’ll worth a visit if you’re ever in the area. The boat took us slowly […]

Seat number 11

Lincolns birthday breakfast was a little bit different this morning because we woke up in a Premier Inn in London so both children were up and excited to find out what an all you can eat breakfast was like. We forget sometimes that these types of experiences we take for granted are new and exciting […]
