Bertie&Boo Adventure Island – 09/02/13

Posted on February 9, 2013 by katese11

Sooo…what to do with a rainy Saturday afternoon? One option was to drive around the M25 with some friends (yes, they were doing it for fun), which would have sent the kids to sleep but might just have sent me … Continue reading →

You may remember some time ago, in a long week of quarantine, the kids and I went on a “ducky-spotting” adventure –  we followed the ducky boat and watched it splash in at Vauxhall. Now, I showed this to the … Continue reading →

Yesterday was a day when lots of straightforward things went wrong. Today was a day when complicated things went right. That’s a nice change. Let’s not dwell on the hours it’s taken me to get Eva to sleep, and the … Continue reading →

Seussical the Musical

Posted on January 4, 2013 by katese11

This was always going to be a risky one. Back in November-time, I got a Groupon offer for “Seussical – the Musical”. I’ve never actually bought a Groupon offer before, so had no idea how quickly they sold out. It … Continue reading →

Southbank Christmas Market – 16/12/12

Posted on December 16, 2012 by katese11

Regular readers of mine will know that my watchwords for this blog are “accuracy”, “clarity” and “focus”. I would never offer anything up to you that was “half-arsed”, “rambling” or “irrelevant”. And I’d like to think that these words reflect … Continue reading →

Children’s fireworks in Corams Fields – 02/11/12

Posted on November 2, 2012 by katese11

If I told you that the words “parenting genius” had been applied to this day out, would that be raising your expectations to an unmanageable level? If I told you that those same words had been used with a question … Continue reading →

The Stow Festival and Lloyd Park Playground – 22/09/12

Posted on September 23, 2012 by katese11

I know I’ve  covered Walthamstow once or twice already, but here we go, back up the Victoria Line.  It was a glorious sunny day, so perfect for an open-air ukulele/banjo/violin/vocal gig. Particularly when the lovely Miss T is playing her … Continue reading →

Techniquest, Cardiff – yup, it’s another field trip!

Posted on September 18, 2012 by katese11

It’s quite likely you’ll recognise Cardiff Bay from somewhere. If you’re a saddo like me, it’ll be from camp-but-educational Beebies show “Rhyme Rocket”. If you’re a different kind of saddo, like Nathan, it’ll be from Doctor Who.  And the boy … Continue reading →
