A pocket of my life

April has been and gone in a flash, with birthdays, Easter, half term and illness thrown into the mix. We started off the month with the last week of term, a trip to a fort for me and an Easter bonnet parade to finish the term. Half term started off amazing, Lils learnt how to ride her bike in under 30 minutes and is now flying every time she rides. Olivia has also been having fun on her bike, flying along the path down the back of ours.  But I was struck with my second lot of tonsillitis and a chest infection to contend with. Luckily with antibiotics I was better in no time.  Next was Olivias 5th birthday! How is she 5? We had a lovely chilled day, she opened her presents and then we took her swimming, had family round and enjoyed lots of cake and treats.  Easter followed just after, this year was so nice as I was actually able to set up an outdoor egg hunt, the girls loved it and it really put a smile on my face. They had some many yummy treats to enjoy 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...

Recently we visited Circus Zyair on there UK tour and what a night it was, full of fun and daring acts that had us on the edge of our seat.  We arrived around 40 minutes before the show started and were taken into the big top around 10 minutes later, once seated there was a chance to buy some food from the stand at the back, some souvenirs or some fun bits for the kids such as inflatable hammers, toches and wiggles. The show started with the 'clown' figure warming the audience up  he was a great character and made a few appearances through the show as others acts were setting up, he even performed some Tik Tok dances too. The show was made up with so many different acts with some great talent and do crazy tricks. On of my favourite wad the high wires, I don't think I have seen it live, the performers for this were amazing and had everyone in awe of what they were doing. Others acts included acrobatics from a chain high up in the big top, rollerblading tricks, juggling, the ...
