I love a BBQ, we all do. Given the choice the children (and Penny the dog) would have bbq every day. Any excuse to be outside. Combine that with being an enthusiastic carnivore a good BBQ ticks all of the boxes. We were looking for a gas BBQ that we could take away with us on caravanning holidays. We’ve got an external gas connector on the van so a portable compact BBQ works for us. The Trekker by Outback ticked all of the boxes. It comes with two sets of legs, one for table top use, and a ...

Nozstock 2018 – My type of festival
Nozstock 2018 - A reminder of what made me fall in love with festivals 25 years ago. A 30 minutes drive is all it is for us to get to Nozstock, so close we can almost hear it. We are lucky to live in Herefordshire and it does not surprise me that a festival in the Shires has grown from a family party 20 years ago to a large successful festival. I last came with Dylan to Nozstock in 2014. Working at other festivals and holidays having kept us away. The general lay out is pretty much the ...
Mud and Bloom review – Vases and seeds
I have recently discovered via Twitter the wonderful Mud and bloom. Having two very keen gardeners and slightly feral children anything that encourages and keeps them busy outside is a winner to me. Mud and bloom works by sending you a new box each month. The boxes are for children aged between 3-8 although my son at age 9 loved it too so I don’t think it has to stop at 8. Each box will be delivered through your letter box. Each box includes everything you need for two seasonal ...
The perfect present created by magic
We lived in the city for years, boots were strictly the heeled, leather sort not wellingtons or waders. That all changed 8 years ago when we moved to the country. We have a boot box over spilling with different makes and sizes of boots so when I spotted the boot design pictures from created by magic I had to get one. It’s such a perfect picture to sum up our little family. I love how personalised the picture is. When initially designing you can pick different coloured boots and styles to ...
Matilda and rainbows
I absolutely love rainbows to the point that I am looking at designs for rainbow tattoos. I have always found them facinating and quite beautiful. It seems my love of rainbows has been passed onto Matilda and I’m not surprised as she is my rainbow baby, a name for a child that arrives after losing a child. A rainbow follows after a storm and gives hope of things getting better and if Matilda could be summed up then that’s absolutely her. I have wanted rainbows to be a big part of her bedroom ...
Wicked Uncle Review by Dylan (age 9)
My Mum told me that the people from a company called Wicked uncle wanted me to test out some toys. I even got to pick which toys I wanted. Me and Mum went onto the website and had a good look through. The website was easy to use and find things, I like the fact it gave ages for searching to make it easier. We made a list of about ten things but in the end I decided on the mini arcade machine because I love gaming and the Stikbots because I like making videos and using cameras. We ordered the ...
