The weather was not great to put…

Is this the sign I need to stop watching so much spooky stuff?
I was convinced we had a mimic in the house! Picture the scene: I had just sat down at the table in the living room, switched on my laptop and picked up my headphones. No sooner had I lifted them to my ears than I hear the word, “Mum”, in a loud whisper from the…

He made breakfast for me!
Well, this hasn’t happened in a looooong time. Dearest Son and I were talking the other day and agreed he should learn how to do more in the kitchen. He has done some basic cooking and baking but we want to increase his skills. More importantly HE wants to increase his skills. I gave him…
