September recap | 2026

-

September flew by in a blur, so much to do and back to the crazy routine of life made it dissappear. 

We started off with back to work and school runs. The summer holidays honestly didnt feel long enough. My birthday came on the first weekend, and we took a trip to LZ World tour in Castle Combe. The morning started at 3.30am so we could get on the road for a 3 hour journey. The day was fantastic and I got some lovely presents too.

Next was Lillys 14th birthday, her actually birthday fell on a week day so she had a friend round and we enjoyed a takeaway. For her birthday trip we surprised her with a day out in London to see Hamilton, an absolutely fantastic show and one we will definitely see again. 

The rest of the month has been a lot quieter with slow weekends and busy weekdays. We've enjoyed watching the sunsets, eating more comfort food and enjoying family time.

What's your favorite memory of September?

Cottage pie recipe

I have recently started making my own Cottage pie with a recipe that I have tweeted to work four our fussy family. I find that a cottage pie is such an Autumn/Winter staple as it feeling like such a warm, hearty meal, one that is a proper comfort meal.  I recently started making the meal and found that I didn't have a packet mix in so decided to find a recipe to try out, the first one I found sounded good but I changed it slightly to fit our family, Lils isn't keen on fresh onion ad none of us like celery. I thought I would share our recipe with you which can easily be adapted if need be. Recipe 500g Beef Mince 1 carton of tomato passata  1 tbs tomato paste 1 beef stock cube 1 beef stock pot 1 tsp onion salt 1 tsp garlic granules 1 tsp mixed herbs 2 medium carrots sliced and part cooked Salt and pepper 3 large potatoes for mash 75g cheese Method 1. Preheat you oven to gas mark 4/180oC 2. Brown off the mince and drain off excess oil from the pan. 3. Pour in the pass...

October recap | 2025

Wow! What a crazy full on month again and one that will stay with me forever. The month started off with our second house move of the year, it has been so stressful and crazy but we are in and the keys are handed back for the other house now so onwards and upwards.  Most of the month has been working, unpacking and Sorting and just being Mum but I have had a few days which have been incredible.  This month I got to attend an event and meet the wonderful Axel Scheffler, the illistrator of the Gruffalo, stickman and many more. He was lovely and we managed to get a book signed by him. I also got to meet Thomas Taylor, an author and illistrator who actually created the first cover for the Harry Potter books. It was such a lovely couple of hours and one I won't forget in a rush. The week just gone has been half term, it started off with a colleagues wedding, we attended the reception and had a boogie. 2 days later we make the big journey up to Lincoln to go and attend a...
