With the food industry booming and social media helping local restaurant’s become far more visible, there is no longer any excuse to experience a bad, over-priced meal. One of the key travel trends for 2015 is to further immerse ourselves […]
I was lucky enough to be invited to meet Shelina Permalloo, winner of MasterChef and chef extraordinaire who treated a group of us to an insight into how to prepare and make some typical authentic Mauritian dishes. They are taken […]
YAY almost time for a choc fest… LOTS of lovely family things going on this weekend. Here’s what we will be doing. What about you? Maybe we will make our own easter eggs again that look like this – with […]
LOADS of stuff to do with teenagers at Walt Disney World - some I didn't know about
Always a lovely tonic going to see my country mouse friend for a lovely relaxed weekend in the country to catch up with old friends. The problem is that as I get older I am becoming not only more urban, […]
Hmmm. If it is indeed the season to be jolly, why is it that I keep wanting to tell everyone (only in my head you understand) to f*ck off? I’m already feeling massively stressed AND THERE ARE STILL DAYS TO […]
We had a lovely evening out on Wednesday evening at a very lively Spanish tapas restaurant on the river at Canary Wharf. A friend and I took a menagerie of children to test it out. Tapas is a meal that […]
Really, if I did actually have a lifestyle blog then this festival would be the perfect fit – in fact, as far as lifestyle goes, I would like to live at this festival all year round. Not sure my liver […]
I have mentioned before that I am seriously thinking about living in a commune with my single girlfriends and all their children. Sharing the load and dividing up the tasks. The main difficulty for me working all of a sudden full time is feeding my children something healthy and nutritious at the right time. If left to their own devices they would have a take-away every day of the week - even if I found the time (and inclination) to cook in advance they would decide to eat other things - my food, for some reason nearly always gets rejected by my children if I'm not around to force feed them.
SO as I mentioned, my gorgeous girlfriend has been helping me out. Bringing her kids round. Feeding them all together. It's working well. My house is full and my children are fed.
Thank you so much to my daughter's friend for taking some splendid photos of all the action in my absence:- 
Teeny weeny person with very large ball:- 
Marginally worried about where it has gone:- 
My new breakfast tin:- 
Fights:- 
More fights and still it's not all the children - three missing!:- 
Supper time:- 
The weary traveller returns to civilisation - bliss:- 
My "Live Love Laugh" picture my friend bought - love it:- 
You see? It works! I love her xx 
On Saturday night I went to The Playboy Club in Old Park Lane with my son…..I’m not sure which part of that statement is more disturbing. Even when I was booking the taxi it was blatantly obvious I wasn’t comfortable […]
Sigh. Christmas and the single parent. It is very very hard and ridiculously complicated. Thankfully my children will wake up on Christmas morning at my house. But then, after our pressie-fest, they have to leave. It is still painful. I […]
