A pocket of my life

Goodbye June and hello July, it has been a crazy month with so much going on and so many highs! We started off last month with a job interview for me and I am pleased to say that i got the job, I start in September which is so exciting and hopefully a new chapter for us. Liam has been enjoying his job and has a tan that many people would envy. The girls have had transition days and meetings for there new school and have done amazing! This certainly was the month of change. Me and Lils took part in the  race for life  this month which I am so proud of, we raised £150 for cancer research, a charity very close to our heart and are so grateful for everyone that sponsored us. Liam was sadly working on Fathers day so we celebrated on the Saturday, on the Sunday we spent time with my Dad at Bodiam castle, a beautiful national trust location with lots to explore. We had lunch and watched the steam train on the local track from the tower. Lils has been on her year 6 residen...

This month has flown by and we are fast approaching Autumn, if for one cannot wait. We are finally in the Summer holidays, well Lilly is as we have made the decision to keep Olivia in nursery over the holidays to keep the routine.  July started off with another trip to  Brands Hatch  for the Super touring power event in which we met Jake Hill and had a great family day out. This month has also been a big one for dressing up as pirates. Our town is very big on pirates and actually holds the world record for the largest gathering of pirates which was 14,231 all together. This year Olivia's nursery had pirate day and she got to go as a pirate with pirate themed activities to keep them amused and over the weekend me and the girls took part in the pirate parade together, its such a lovely weekend and the girls seemed to love it. Lils had a busy month with sports day, rugby trial, a beach party and the end of year 5 just being part of it, the end of school has made ...

Today we have visited Brands Hatch race circuit in Kent to enjoy the Super Touring Power event, this is one that we have never been to but one we will definitely be going to again. The event is based around celebrating different eras of BTCC cars including pre 03/pre 93 and Thunder and Jaguar and of course the Super tourers, this is the first year that this event has gone on. Today the event took place on the GP track and whizzes down the straights with such a noise, there were so many cars to see with some races having 40 different vehicles on the track at once, the different eras of car as well really made the day more entertaining and it was great to see some classics on the track. This event also has pit lane access and normal pit access to so you can have a look around the cars that are not racing and interact with the racers too. In fact we managed to meet Jake Hill who is currently 3rd in the driver standings in British touring cars, he was very friendly and ...

Wow! We are just about to make it half way though 2023, how is that possible? We have had a pretty full on month but its been a good one full of making memories. We started off the month with Jack in the green, this is a local event that happens every May day and is a celebration of Spring/Summer. This is probably one of my favourite events that our local town put on as its such a positive and fun atmosphere. The same week we also took a trip to Circus Zyair  with Liam's Mum and watched King Charles Coronation.  The weather this month has been beautiful and we have tried to take full advantage of it and enjoy the sun while we can, we have been over Nannies garden, going on walks and generally being outside in the fresh air (I do wish we had a garden though). On the 25th of this month Liam and I celebrated our 15th anniversary, I can't believe we have made it this far, he has honestly been my rock through some of the hardest times and we have laughed until we have c...
