Penny dog loves to get wet. A very typical labrador, she loves jumping in the river, puddles, streams and any muddle puddle she can roll in. This can often leave her in the dog house when she comes back in soaking wet and muddy, dripping all over the floors and the sofa. I recently heard about something called vet bedding. I was told it would be perfect for Penny as she can get on it after getting wet and it will get her dry but the blanket will dry quickly and keep her warm. It sounded ...

A love for Photography
Photography has changed significantly over the years the old camera my Nan used cannot be compared to a camera like a (Professional) Mirrorless Cameras but what hasn’t changed is my families love for photography.

Discover festive things to do in the UK this winter

But that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all the wonderful winter fun. Here in the UK we are lucky enough to have so many staycations ...
Little red riding hood – a review for La Coqueta
Today on the school run I was stopped, not once, not twice but three times to have people comment on Matilda’s new coat. One lady described it as “the most beautiful red coat she had ever seen”. It’s probably too beautiful really to wear to school but I don’t want to hide it away. The problem with keeping clothes for children for best is that the clothes will never get worn, especially when you live in the country and have a slightly feral child, but this coat is far to gorgeous not to be worn ...
In France with Isabella
“What tone should I set with this Isabella review?” “Don’t Swear” Editor in chief Mrs EBF doesn’t like colourful language in blog posts. She’s just asked me to write a post about our holiday to France, a 1000 mile tour, incorporating 3 separate campsite stays, with two different caravan awnings to put up, with no swearing involved. You know what. It’s easy. To really understand what our holiday meant to us I need to take you back 2 years ago. My Dad was diagnosed with incurable ...
