What We’ve Been Up To : December 2020
Well, that will be a December that no one ever forgets in a hurry, especially us (for reasons I shall explain later). In between lockdowns, schools, isolations, Covid, preparing for family Christmases to then cancelling family Christmases. December was utterly topsy turvy. I don’t know if ...
What We’ve Been Up To : November 2020
I am so so sorry this blog post is massively later than usual. I have a number of excuses, first up being a lack of motivation during the early part of the month and then the household was struck with the dreaded Covid. But I shall tell you more about that in December. But I am back, ready to ...
What We’ve Been Up To : October 2020
We are back again for another round-up of the month that was October 2020. First up I need to apologise for the radio silence over the past month,. Life’s just been a bit hectic and then at times building up the momentum to blog has been tough. So instead I’ve embraced the downtime, ...
What We’ve Been Up To : September 2020
Back in March, I was wishing away the months until September arrived, wanting to be closer to the end of 2020 as it was turning out to be a rubbish year. Now we are here, nearing the end of 2020 and wishing it to be another 6 months down the line as the outcome and outlook of our lives thanks ...

At the weekend we took a trip with some close friends to Chester Zoo for their son’s birthday. In the run-up to attending Chester Zoo, I’d been reading up about other people’s visits to the attraction. How their experience went and how they felt about keeping safe when ...
A Covid Safe Trip To Cadbury World
At the beginning of the holidays I asked the kids to write me a list of places they would like to visit during the break. On their list was Cadbury World, so not willing to disappoint I booked us in for a visit and last Wednesday we attended. We last visited Cadbury World back in the summer ...
What We’ve Been Up To : July 2020
Another month, another What We’ve Been Up To blog post. This month we are looking back on July 2020, sharing what we got up to and how we are adjusting to our “new normal” in life after lockdown. July was a bit of a funny month, mainly with learning how to react with our new ...
The Reopening Of Blists Hill Victorian Town, Telford and Covid Safety Measures.
I’m going to be honest, I was very sceptical back in June when lockdown measures were beginning to be lifted. I’d become comfortable in my little safe bubble at home. With essential trips to the shops for groceries, opening our Dry Cleaning business and family walks being our only ...
