It's Kentwell
Time with Joan. Time with crafts and friends and a campsite so quiet you can feel the silence like a warm soft cloak, and gather it to you to calm a modern mind. Time with fires and candles and communal meals and shared wine, and games of an evening and shared memories. Time past. My…
The eyes have it
Sorry. I’ve had one of those days when there were too many words and ideas to be able to get focus on any of them. Which leaves me feeling kind of worn out and pathetic. So instead of chasing myself in circles, I’m going to go to bed and hope I wake up less cluttered…
C25K take three?
I’m not sure how many times I’ve started and restarted running now. The first couple of times I devised my own routines and built up over time until I was regularly running 3 miles or occasionally further. But I’ve suffered a bunch of odd injuries and found it really hard to get going again. So…
Perfectly Norman by Tom Percival
Buy at Amazon (affiliate link). I think it’s fair to say we are Tom Percival fans. We’ve several of his books on our shelves, including the very limited edition Hugo and the Imaginary Zoo. Perfectly Norman is a wonderful addition to his range, and I’m thrilled to be joining the blog tour. The premise is…
#NoddyChallenge – Design your own Noddy race game.
It’s been a grey and gloomy week so far here at the seaside, and I’m looking for ideas to amuse, preferably on a tight budget. So when I saw a tots100 competition to create a Noddy themed craft, I couldn’t resist having a go. Noddy has been a big favourite here for years. We’ve got…
Fierce Kingdom by Gin Phillips
Amazon link (affiliate). I read this in a day, back when it arrived as a proof. See? https://www.instagram.com/p/BR_u-Xmh3He/ (I’m pretty much avoiding twitter all the time now. You’d think I’d have more time for blogging, but mojo has deserted me. Ah well. It will return. Am reading more though, so there could be more book…
Smyths Toys (free!) Party 27th May
and NI 27th May – that’s this weekend! The parties are from 9am until 2pm and there’s a free goodie bag for every child (while stocks last, queueing system in operation). I’m intending to get there early 😉 There will be free face painting (children 3+ only), a raffle every hour for a £50 voucher,…
New tent.
Ebay bargain, exact tent we’ve been looking for. Yes, it’s another Vango 🙂 Smallest is very excited. Most of her camping experiences (that she remembers anyway) have been Kentwell related, and she’s hoping that we might manage to fit in some ordinary camping as well. I confess I’m a bit inspired too. Dreaming of adventures…
Sunday snippets
{missing} a week that disappeared under a heap of appointments and not particularly fun activities. More of the same tomorrow :/ {feeling} hopeful that Vit D is making a huge difference to pain and energy levels. Now back to wondering about why my shoulder and hip are problems, but I’ve specialist physio this week, so…
