Back to the Farm

So some of you may know that we have had a few car issues of late and have been without a car for about 2 months now, which we have no problem with except that we cannot get to some of our favourite places, St Fagans being one, so when I was leant a car for the day we couldn't wait to make our way there and it really made no difference it was raining. We really put Mr A's regatta puddle suit through it's paces and I have to say even with the intermitten downpours it kept him nice and dry, alongside his waterproof gloves and wellies, I think as long as your well prepared rain really shouldn't stop you from enjoying the outdoors, well it doesn't stop us anyway. Wet weather won't stop us First thing we did was check the small apple and pear orchard as the last time we were here the trees were filled with fruit and I always encourage the little man to have an understanding of where his food come's from. The trees are now bare, with the odd apple and......

Boys Club and Christmas Jumpers

So two weeks ago, prior to the storm, we managed to borrow a car and fancied a change in scenery so we took a drive to out Wale's sister capital - Swansea. We didn't really have a plan of what to do when we arrived but simply enjoyed having a little walk around the harbours and a look around the Waterfront Museum. It was a great day for the John and Mr A who had a lot of fun watching the different boats come in and out the harbour, jumping up on pillars and benches and getting up to his general cheeky ways. It also gave John a chance to take his latest jacket purchase by Post Overalls out and about, as well as Mr A giving his Converse, which was a birthday present from his uncle, a run around, although being white and with winter coming I am sure they are not going to look new for long. John wears - Post Overalls Jacket, Universal works shirt, Edwin Jeans - Mr A - Mountain Warehouse hoodie, Mini Club Jeans, Converse shoes It's always great exploring new places a......

Beat the Rush - Top Tips for being organised this Christmas

It feels like every day of adult life requires us to be organised, juggling all aspects of our day to ensure that everything gets done and nothing is left forgotten. While it can sometimes feel like an uphill struggle at the best of times, things can get even more hectic in the run up to Christmas, especially where the kids are concerned. Christmas concerts, parent’s evenings, Christmas parties and weekend treats are just some of the things that we need to add to our overflowing diaries and that’s without even thinking about the shopping! The sooner we think about that the better and while many people may put off until tomorrow what they could be doing today, it’s better to be as organised as possible so that we can limit the stress suffered. Organisation is key if you want the festive period to go by without a hitch and here are a few snippets of advice that may help you survive the lead-up to the big day. Start buying presents early If you’re in charge of the......

Kamigata Express and Pamper

Wow last week I was really made to feel pampered, and it came just at the right time with all the house moving stress in my life. I was lucky enough to try out the new Kamigata Express Service and for those who don't know who or what Kamigata is, it's a swish newish hair, beauty and spa hotspot right in the centre of Cardiff, found in St Davids 2. So what is the express service? It's amazing for one thing, but to be exact it's perfect for those who are short for time but want to be made up before going out or to an event or if you just feel like treating yourself and it includes a lovely Aveda mini-facial, manicure and a blow-dry from one of their professional stylists. So here is how my personal experience went, first of all on arrival the staff were very friendly, welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed. I had a few minutes to browse all the products in the reception area and then was taken over to the little spa bar and sat in a very cool vintag......
