Emily and I went up to visit my family the other weekend and whilst we were up there, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to get Emily’s hair trimmed. As my mum is a hairdresser, I wouldn’t have anyone else cutting her hair, but because it was the all-important first hair cut, I’d…
Tag: Isleworth
I bumped into a friend from my childhood and she lives in Ramsgate too!
How’s this for a little bizarre…. a few weeks ago, in church, a lady walked in and I instantly recognised her. Her shoulder length blonde hair, blue eyes and that laugh, I knew who she was, no need to start searching Facebook to remind me of her name, I knew who it was straight away….
Do New Years resolutions really work now that you’re a parent?
As a singleton, I made numerous promises to myself that I’d commit to a set list of resolutions when the new year came. In my early twenties, it was always the gym, promising myself that if I bought myself a gym membership, I’d turn into a fitness freak with a good diet, defined abs and…
Snakes and Ladders soft play playground, Syon Park, SW London [review]
Last Sunday we visited Snakes & Ladders in Syon Park, Brentford, for my nieces 6th birthday party. The last time I came here, I was about 8 or 9 with dad and my sister, back in the days Syon Park had a butterfly house, the little train track and had a cool garden centre, but…
We’re seeing Santa this weekend!
Emily may be too young for Santa Claus just yet, but I’ve decided to take Emily to see him with my sister and her daughter, Mya on Saturday whilst we’re up in Isleworth. Although Emily is small, most of the options for Santa are probably a little too mature for her, so we’ve decided this…
We’re going to Isleworth on Friday
We are going to Isleworth this weekend and I really can’t wait. Although I saw my mum a few weeks ago for Emily’s first birthday in London for lunch, it was only brief for a few hours and not long enough. It was be great to catch up with my niece, sister, grandparents, mum and…
You’ve got a friend in me
When I moved to Ramsgate, I was worried about how many friends I’d make. I didn’t know anyone down here, I made two friends through Netmums prior who lived here, but we mainly just talked and I only met one, who although we’re still friends, she lives in another town. It was a huge worry…
Funny what a difference a year makes
It really is amazing what can happen in the space of a year. This time last year, I was sitting on my bed in my room listening to the commentator awarding the school kids at sports day in the field next door. I knew very little people, pretty much no one, whilst Sam worked in…
Emily’s first trip to Isleworth and it’s changed so much…
There was a lot of excitement a couple of weeks ago when we visited my family in Isleworth, South West London, 108.7 miles away from home in Ramsgate, Kent. We didn’t tell friends, it wasn’t anything personal it was just that we had so much planned with my family that trying to make plans to…
This weather makes socialising difficult
I love being by the sea. I moved here last June and as last summer was one of the hottest on records, being by the sea was bliss until it was too hot. I love the sun. I love being in it, barbecuing in it, dozing in it, sunbathing in it, socialising in it and…
