Recently I started hiking in a bid to keep fit. And I absolutely love it. Not just for the health benefits but for the mental health benefits too. I’ve not felt this good in a long time. There’s a local hiking club and I’ve joined up and made some good friends there. […]
Our neighbor has 5 kids and they’ve just upgraded one of the play structures in the back yard so that the older kids can still enjoy it. They’ve added a deck area on one end and a tire swing at the other end. It got me thinking back to when we were kids […]
My nephew is having a fancy dress themed birthday party in a few weeks time and he’s looking for ideas to transform the venue into something out of this world. He’s a big music fan and he’s decided that he’s going to change the venue into guitar-world! We’ve bought lots of inflatable guitars for […]
I made a very smart purchase at the weekend and I’m wondering why I didn’t do it AGES ago!! I’m wondering how I ever managed without them! What I am going on about? Why, it’s my new 2 step stools! I have one upstairs in my walk in closet and one downstairs in the laundry […]

Why oh why is it that as I get older, my weight yo yos so much? I try to eat healthily, I exercise regularly yet my weight is up and down all the time. My only options now are to stop eating or have a gastric band fitted. I refuse to buy […]
