Piccalilly clothing have asked me to guest post for them. Pretty exciting as I've never produced a guest post before. They wanted someone to write about unisex clothing. This is a subject that I have been meaning to write about for sometime as having a boy and a girl it has become something that at times has really frustrated me. I admit that I do love a dress. I suppose after boys clothes shopping for 8 years it's a nice change to look at all the lovely girls clothes or is it simply that ...
Building Hedgehog Cafes
After so many people loved seeing the bug hotel we created it seemed only fair that we gave the hedgehogs some love. We have also discovered the RSPB wildlife challenge, we love a challenge and of course medals so we thought we would give it a go.

With this in mind, the hedgehog cafe needs to be strong, sturdy and dry, a place where the hedgehog can raise its ...

You just want to have fun building it and making a home for the bugs. Filling the gaps There are lots of different things you can put it the gaps ...
Bluestone – No such thing as bad weather
It rained and rained then rained some more. From the second we arrived till the second we left it rained but as my husband always tells me “there is no such thing as bad weather just inappropriate clothing”. Well the wellies and waterproofs got put very much to the test at Bluestone but do you know what? It did not spoil a single second. With so much to do and see it really did not bother us. Bluestone very kindly invited us to stay. Unfortunately as it was in school time Dylan had to miss ...
