    Morph gingerbread biscuits

    August 27, 2023 - By 

    We’ve mentioned a few times now that we really enjoyed visiting Morph’s Epic Art Adventure London trail. Since the trail started we’ve had a couple of trips into London to see it but unfortunately didn’t manage to tick off all the sculptures. The app was really handy keeping tabs of all the sculptures and we definitely had our favourites which we shared with you here and here. Growing up we loved to watch Morph and they inspired some baking at home. Morph gingerbread biscuits I couldn’t find a Morph shaped cookie cutter so my husband designed and printed it on…

    August 21, 2023 - By 

    Starting the week by writing the Happy List is something I’ve been doing for a while. This is my chance to sit down and reflect on the things that made me happy in the previous week, as well as to record some of our family adventures. It’s a post I always love to write.

    August 17, 2023 - By 

    We spent last week glamping with Jurassic Glamping at The Red House Farm, a small-scale, family orientated, luxury campsite on a smallholding in East Devon. We had been glamping back in 2012 with the kids so were really excited to do it again with them. Jurassic Glamping at The Red House Farm Our last experience was our own eight acres of private woodland in Devon, called The Wood Life. Just the four of us, a large tent, real beds and a wood burning stove. This time round we were staying on a small-scale glamping site, in one of six large safari-style…

    July crafting

    August 11, 2023 - By 

    July was a busy month so it’s probably no surprise that I forgot to post an update of my crafts. The kids had loads of activities and finished their school year, and promptly went off to summer camp with Scouts. There was also plenty of time for crafting and we fitted in a few exhibitions in London and lots of makes.

I looked for an online fabric store and found some great materials but she found some clothes she wanted…

    We’re currently on our glamping holiday in Devon which we have been looking forward to for ages.

There must have been at least a hundred people of all ages, excited to go fossil hunting along the Jurassic coast. Charmouth is a pretty coastal village on the Jurassic Coast which…
