Happy Easter! We’ve had a great Easter weekend. The weather has predictably been a little hit and miss, but overall not too much rain so I guess we could not have asked for too much more. We somehow managed to get the whole weekend to ourselves so had some great, quality family time…meals out, long walks with the dog, pottering…

Work it Wednesday – Wash Out

Victoria PeatApril 1, 2010

Well, sadly yesterday was a bit of a wash out. I have been suffering for a few days with a terribly sore throat so as the little one was at the nursery I thought I would take the opportunity to get to the doctor’s. Now, there are two options, you can either ring for an afternoon appointment (but you’ll not…

One very lucky, unlucky puppy

Victoria PeatMarch 26, 2010

So Roxy is so much better after her adder bite last weekend. The vet was really pleased with how her lip is healing and it looks as though she’ll not need surgery. There are still loads of night time trips to the loo (just like having a newborn in the house again) but she’ll be off the steroids in a day or two.…

A snake in the grass…Roxy gets bitten by an adder

Victoria PeatMarch 22, 2010

Our poor dog Roxy was bitten by and adder yesterday. A friend had suggested to us that Cannock Chase was a great place for dog walking, so as yesterday was so stunning we decided to make the journey. We we’d only just started our walk when Roxy yelped as she went to fetch a stick. Now, anyone who knows our…

Wonderful weekend in Prague

Victoria PeatMarch 16, 2010

What a fabulous time we had in Prague. We slept, we ate, we drank, we shopped, we saw the sights, we even went to the cinema! Lots of goulash and dumplings so this was a welcome change for brunch on the Sunday! Fabulous bakery that sold the most amazing looking cakes and cookies! Prague Castle on a grey day –…

5 years and counting

Victoria PeatMarch 12, 2010

Teddies in the tub

Due to unfortunate baby related circumstances, all of Charlotte’s bears had to have a little bath last week I am pleased to confirm that they are all safe, clean, dry and back in the cot!

1st day at school

Victoria PeatFebruary 4, 2010

Well, not quite first day at school, but yesterday was Charlotte’s first (half) day at nursery. I have mixed feelings about sending her to nursery. On the one hand she is growing fast (now 17 months) and a bit more social interaction will do her good. It will also give me the chance to sit at the sewing machine and…

Autumn over the oceans

Victoria PeatNovember 25, 2009

As time passes by this post seems to be getting more and more irrelevant! It was supposed to be a post about Autumn, but the weather is getting distinctly more and more like winter. Autumn is a time of year that I have mixed feeling about…I love the colours of the trees and the coolness in the air and the…

Chance would be a fine thing

Victoria PeatOctober 20, 2009

When I had a proper job in the big smoke before we moved to the countryside, I used to have a one hour commute on the train and tube. It was a real pain some days…the middle of winter could be just as painful as the middle of winter – too many bodies and not enough space – you get…
