Chips!

Posted on August 4, 2020 by Hannah

Our week of relaxing day trips was slightly scuppered by a phone call from the plumber to say he could start work on our bathroom. He’d first phoned us back in March to say he’d penciled us in for May, … Continue reading →

Posted on October 29, 2018 by Hannah

Hedgehog update

Posted on September 21, 2016 by Hannah

Posted on July 20, 2016 by Hannah

Big Dreamer and I had a lovely evening out together this weekend. I know, out, together, in the evening! Shock horror! We left my lovely mum in charge. That’s not technically true. Little Owl was in charge, but my mum … Continue reading →

Rain

Posted on September 16, 2015 by Hannah

Dusk

Posted on July 25, 2013 by Hannah
