I took poor Edward to have his twelve week jabs today. Although we got through the eight week ones with barely a whimper it wasn’t the same today. By the time I got him out of his buggy, removed his shorts and held him gently on my lap he seemed to know exactly what was…
The Gallery: Week 14 – still life
I’m having difficulty keeping up with the prompts for The Gallery but I’m really enjoying the opportunity to look at all my photos so I will persevere. Crossbones graveyard, Southwark Some months ago we headed to Borough Market for the morning. Down a side street we came across the memorial gates to the Crossbones graveyard,…
Routines
I’ve realised it’s time to have some sort of routine in our life. For the last three months I’ve completely followed Edward with feeding and sleeping times. Luckily he’s been happy to go to bed at 7 and with a couple of feeds he’ll sleep to 7 the next day. However I want him to…
Growth spurts
Edward slept through the night on Sunday from midnight to six am 🙂 After a bit of googling I discovered that our hungry/sleepy baby may be experiencing another growth spurt.

Family friendly hotels
Although we have just returned from a week away with our 11 week old we are starting to think about the next holiday! This year we would like a couple of long weekends away to Bath/Bristol, Dublin and Bruges. Before we went away I read a great post by Tanya about holidaying with small children….

He seems constantly hungry and has taken to sleeping for long periods during the day and shorter periods during the night….
Holidays and sunburnt hands!
We’re coming to the end of a week spent in Devon and Cornwall. It has been quite an experiencing holidaying with an 11 week old! However, we managed to have a great time and visited Lanhydrock, a monkey sanctuary and the Eden Project, not to mention the picturesque seaside villages of Looe and Polperro. Here…
Cath Kidston goodies
Yesterday I popped into the Cath Kidston shop in Covent Garden. I’d spotted some goodies in the latest catalogue that I wanted, especially the tin of travel sweets – perfect for our long drive to Cornwall tomorrow. I also picked up laundry and shoe bags and a pillowcase featuring planes which I’m hoping to make…
Orla Kiely Punched Stem Rosemary Bag
My hubby treated me to a lovely new Orla Kiely bag so I chose the punched stem rosemary bag. Today I sneaked out of the house and headed to Covent Garden to buy it (and the matching purse too!). Image taken from Orla Kiely website. No visit to Covent Garden is complete without a visit…
