We’re finally here. The journey was great, no dramas, although I bawled my eyes out for a couple of hours as we left (it really was so much harder than I expected). We flew via Munich with Lufthansa and I…
Today was a bank holiday (the first of several this month – yippee!). The kids haven’t been well (Oscar is on his 3rd or 4th ear infection since we moved to Luxembourg, and Henry has a mild tummy bug) and…
This is the second of my slightly guilt-ridden, random posts after neglecting the blog. This one is written with the recent good weather in mind. Now, you will hear a lot of people whining about the weather here in Luxembourg;…
I feel like a bad Mother who repeatedly abandons her children and lamely just keeps apologising and hopes no one notices. I’ve been doing a bit of regular freelance writing, which I love, but it means Mummy is clocking up…

Hello world. It’s good to be back. The boys and I took a little tripette to London over the half term break and boy, did we cover some turf whilst there. I had the best of intentions to update, or…
I started my upholstery course this week. It’s being held at St George’s School and there are 4 of us in the group. It was nice to meet some other ladies and have a natter about all things bric a…
