Snow

So we’ve kind of had a snow day. I woke this morning to a layer of the white stuff outside and got quite excited. I do love snow. I love how magic it seems even if it is a total and utter inconvenience to us all. My youngest two are both off school with a flu type bug that has brought out our dear old friend Croup. It sounds like I have two seals in the house. My youngest is on day five of feeling pants but his voice has returned and he’s eating so he’s definitely getting better. My middle one hasn’t had it quite so bad, no sore throat just the cough and a temperature. My eldest is fine and was gutted that he had to go to school. His bus arrived on time but then took 45 minutes to go two stops. By which time he was fed up and cold. Most of the students gave up and came home. The bus company later stated on Facebook that they were sending another but by which time most of the boys were home again. So he got his day off after all. As for me well I work on the moor during the day and there was no way I was going to get there so I’ve had a day looking after the boys. The hubby did a 14 hour night shift last night, late home due to the snow and the fact that they had to close the A30 and deal with loads of broken down vehicles, jack knifed lorries and just lots of snow. Here’s Alfie enjoying the white stuff this morning. Stay safe and in the warm.  X

Watching You by Lisa Jewell

Watching you by Lisa Jewell really didn’t disappoint. As I’ve said before I’m a big fan of Lisa Jewell books, they are usually gripping stories and easy to read. This one was both. The story starts with a murder scene but the author doesn’t tell you who it is and this makes you start questioning every character in the story. The story follows the main characters Joey, a newly married women, who with her husband, are living with her brother and sister in law in their house on the terrace which is the main setting of the story. The next main character is Tom Fitzwilliam who lives two doors away with his wife and son. Tom is a superhead who has been brought in to turn around the local academy school. His son, Freddie, is portrayed as a bit odd, constantly watching and photographing people who live in the village and recording their day to day goings on. Hence the “Watching You.” The other main characters are Jenna and Bess who go to the academy. Bess is infatuated by Mr F and Jenna...

Stationery Subscription box

You may have seen them or something similar. There are all sorts out there now from beauty products to Gin but my love is stationery (I do like the odd Gin too!). I am a member of the Bring Back Paper facebook page hosted by Jocelyn from The Reading Residence and I asked on there which were the best stationery subscription boxes out there. A few were recommended to me but the most popular one was The Sherbet Lane subscription.  I had a look at a few of those suggested including the Paper gang but decided that I would treat myself to six months subscription to The Sherbet Lane box. Immediately after I joined up, Claire who runs it added me to the facebook page and OMG! She designs all her own work and the variety of products have been amazing. Every Monday she runs a little competition for members of the facebook group as well as designing all the stationery for the boxes. You get anything from paperclips (beautiful ones not just bog standard!), pens, pencils, notebooks, m...
