Sunday in my Kitchen ::
Posted by vicki brown on
Our kitchen gets a lot of use throughout the week, as I'm sure most do, especially if you have children (they need 3 proper meals every single day you know?!). But during the week it mostly seems like a chore to be in there.

Third trimester!
I can't really believe it, yet here I am, 12 weeks to go now.
This week has seen numerous hospital visits. I had to go down last Friday after having horrible pains over night and reduced movements.

Cheltenham Food and Drink Festival ::
Posted by vicki brown on
This weekend sees our favourite of the Cheltenham festivals come to town; The Food and Drink Festival. I don't think we've missed one year since we first moved here. We're big food lovers in our house and every year we go armed with many shopping bags/rucksacks/coolbags to hunt out fabulous local and not so local, wonders and treats.
I particularly love taking Milo, as he's such an adventurous...
