    AD/Poetry for Neanderthals – Not Safe for Work Edition

    November 15, 2023 - By 

    We love a new game and were recently sent Poetry for Neanderthals: NSFW Edition. This is an adult version of the hit game from Exploding Kittens for ages 17+ where you must “speak good or get spanked with stick”! Poetry for Neanderthals – Not Safe for Work Edition The game is quick to learn. Players earn points by getting their teammates to guess words and phrases like “glory hole” and “sex robot.” The catch is that they are only allowed to use single syllable words. If they use any words with more than one syllable, the other team gets to spank…

    November 6, 2023 - By

This year we are delighted to be reading The Enchanted Christmas Treasury  which is aimed at readers aged five to eight. It features stories of ninja nans, brave pups and fallen angels finding their way back to the top of the Christmas tree, in tales that will charm everyone. The…

    Poppy Fields at Winchester Cathedral

    November 4, 2023 - By 

    We were lucky enough to spend the week in the pretty little city of Winchester. The kids have a two week half term so we went away for the second week and took the dog. We stayed in a quirky Grade 2 listed cottage on Beggars Lane which was a short walk into the centre of Winchester. Winchester Cathedral dominates the city and we were able to visit during the day. It’s dog-friendly (like Canterbury Cathedral which we visited earlier this year), so we were all able to visit together. The Cathedral is notable for being the burial place of…
