A pocket of my life

A few weeks ago our family grew, just a little bit, meet Snowy, a long haired white guinea pig.  During the last half term we attended a pet pals workshop at pets a home, an event in which you can learn about small anmials and have a cuddle. During this time we met Snowy, a 9 month old cutie who was on his own and we fell in love. Fast forward 2 hours and we were back picking him up to bring home. I do understand that guinea pigs love friends and we will be hopefully finding him one in the near future once we have had him done. We want to give him a happy home and a happy life so we are doing everything in the way that we have been advised from pets at home themselves. He is a very cheeky thing, he loves going out in his run and loves a bit of carrot and cucumber, he loves a cuddle and is very chilled too. I still can't quite believe the story of how we came to get him but it will be one that hopefully the kids will remember forever and put a smi...

Well that flew by, it feels like only yesterday I was writing Mays post. We have had a really good month, busy but good. The weather for the most part has been beautiful, hotter than we would like some says but the sun has been a welcome part. It meant that we have had a lot of time outside, either in the garden or for days out.  The month started with getting back to work and getting to know snowy better, we spent a lot of time in the garden and making sure that it is fully ready for summer. The following weekend, me and Lilly took part in our second race for life  in our local park, this one I wanted to beat lasts year time and we did that by 5 minutes in total and together we raised over £150, after Liam decided on a last minute BBQ, the first one of many at the house. Father's day was quiet this year, we had another bbq fhe night before as Liams mate visited and then we spoilt hkm the next day with some gifts and a meal he liked in the evening.  Last weeke...

Where did May go? It has been and gone within a flash but we have managed to get so much done in just one month! May started off with the end of half term and May day, Hastings celebrates May day in a different way to many people with an event called Jack in the Green . This is a day that I really enjoy, the atmosphere and the mood is so positive and fresh and then you get the added bonus of the bike run too. Its one day that we try not to miss and Lils got to be in the parade too. We have spent lots of time enjoying the garden, cycling and getting out in the sunshine while it lasted. We have planted the sunflowers and started to grow some strawberries too. Still can't believe that we actually have a garden. The next half term was here in a flash, it started with mine and Liam's 17th anniversary, we enjoyed fish and chips on the beach with the girls and just had a really chill day. During the holidays we took a trip to the playpark with Grandad, granny and Lils cous...
