Autumn Spotters


Remember back in the Spring when I did the activity to spot the signs of the new season? Well, here's one for the Autumn!


Here's what you should look for when the weather starts to turn autumnal.


The turn of the trees


One of the main sights to confirm Autumn is on the way is the leaves changing. Can you spot the following colours?

Faith, trust and fertility dust!


Quite a few friends, family members and readers have asked me whats happening on the fertility front.

What's happening? 
Is there any update?
Are you expecting yet?

Well, no nothing is happening. There is no update. I'm not expecting. That bump is Chinese takeaways and crisps.

Wray Castle


Wray Castle is a mock-Gothic National Trust property, which perches on the shores of Lake Windermere. Built  in 1840 and used by Beatrix Potter and her family as a holiday home it is advertised as being kid friendly, but is it really??

Back in September we found out!

It was the standard rainy day in the Lake District when we arrived at Wray Castle. Luckily it wasn't overly busy so we could park in the small onsite car park. We walked with haste up the path as the toddler refused to have the raincover down on the pushchair! We were met by the sight of the impressive Gothic-styled castle. The kind you expect to see in a fairy tale. It was very Disney-esque
