These are our offerings for Halloween this year, Dora is the Tallest’s favourite, the face is hers also and I did the haunted house – the jack-o-lantern is behind bars as the only available room is behind the fire guard on the hearth, but like the Tallest said it’s that scary that it has to [...]

A bit of a Do…
Posted in Aside, Kids!, tagged A&E, fungi, mushrooms on October 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The Smallest decided to give us all a fright yesterday buy dissapearing off down the bottom of the garden and helping herself to a handful of fungi.
Two hours at the local A&E and a good nights sleep and she is none the worse for her little misadventure, thank goodness that they were in the garden [...]
Sunflowers in full bloom

As you can see the Tallest’s Sunflowers have come good in the end. We should of had four stems, but the Smallest when through a faze of pulling the heads of plants shortly after they were planted into the new border against the house! So only two survived.
She’s not sure whether she wants the leave [...]

Okay, so leading on from my last post, I was extoling the virtues of having a mini-me on hand to help with all the sowing that has to be done at this time of year…what I omitted was the anecdote that goes along with the last lot of peas.
The Tallest and I were out in [...]

Booby Buns!
Posted in Food, Kids!, tagged baking, buns on February 17, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Inspired by one of her favourite characters of book and small screen Lola from Charlie and Lola, the Tallest decided that she wanted to ice the buns with pink icing, what I didn’t anticipate was Hubby coming home from work early and presenting her with a tube of Smarties…the outcome of which resulted in her [...]
Recycled Wool Longies

A jumper that I never wore was turned into a shrug…which I wore…and then it got put on the hot wash!…so now it has a new lease of life as a pair of wollen longies for the smallest.
I haven’t had her in them yet, but I have the sneaking suspicion that they aren’t going to [...]
