Boat Trip Around the harbour there are several opportunities to take a short trip out of Whitby harbour or a longer excursion to fish … Continue reading 10 Things to do in Whitby
Well, I faced it again. 17th June wasn't baby boy3's birthday and I made it through. No toddler joyfully screaming, running amok, smearing cake everywhere, overtired and spoiled by their family and friends. No midnight wake ups or relief at sleeping through. No teething drool, no funny ways of saying new words. No adjustments to … Continue reading Not a birthday
In the world before 2020, who would ever have thought that we could be so excited about a week in a small, quiet seaside town? Well, in the event we've been counting the weeks and days ever since we booked it. A little cottage, plans for eating fish and chips, hunting fossils and generally mooching … Continue reading A week in Whitby

It's the Easter holidays. On Good Friday we asked the boys what they wanted to do. As well as various requests for Scalextric tracks and Monopoly, large boy said he wanted to see his grandparents. Trying to meet up with himself's parents for the day is kind of hard as we live 8 hours apart. … Continue reading A Little Joy
The last couple of birthdays for the boys I've written a post about who they are and how they've grown and changed. Himself has just faced a big birthday, so I figured I'd give him a similar treatment. He probably won't like that because I'm likely to get soppy and write nice things about him. … Continue reading Himself at 40
I've got to admit that we're all about the modern day festival of chocolate and treats at Easter. We aren't religious, occasionally forget pancake day (don't even call it shrove Tuesday) and we don't give things up for lent. That said, we also try not to focus too much on the edible treats. Easter in … Continue reading Our Easter Treats
