If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

Getting outside: Cuningar Loop and Ben A’an

July 20, 2016 By Ellen

Damp at the weekend, who’d have thought? Though, as is often the case, it’s never quite so bad when you’re out in it. Boys One and Two have gone for their summer visit with their dad, leaving Boy Three at home. Seven year old boys like other young animals do better when they are regularly […]

The comfort of familiarity tempered by the shadows of the boring old grown up stuff that starts looming again. We’ve visited several of the fabulous attractions here – no complaints at all. Not […]

June 30, 2016 By Ellen

What a lovely place this is – so quite and far from all that Brexitery. Wonderful. It has taken a few days to shake myself free of the holiday torpor.
