Yayo introduces Oliver to himself, which they both found very funny!

And Yaya provides an extra pair of hands for a duet…

OK, not really, but I wanted to report that I have been keeping the british end up by getting horribly sunburnt today. Bloody idiot. From now on, we are not going to the beach until after 6pm.

Luckily my not-quite-two-year-old son has far more sense and planted himself firmly under an umbrella where he [...]

I’m afraid that while I’m getting a little time, with doting grandparents around to look after the boys (all 3 of them – you’re right, Ads!) you will be subjected to a few achronological / unchronological / dischronological posts. (maybe someone can tell me the correct prefix). Also, as I’m adjusting to posting on [...]

So, Ollie has made his first flight, aged 3 months, and Thomas is clocking them up on his 8th flight, at 21 months.

The journey went really well, and we got a lot of comments on the buggy, and most importantly, I was soon sipping Cava and eating Manchego and Sobrasada.

Thomas also wasted no time in [...]

This morning as we were waking up to the screaming row our neighbours opposite were having, I reflected on the fact that, when we first moved here, and everything was new and unfamiliar, the sound of people swearing at the top of their voices in the street frightened me a little, whereas this morning, I [...]

This is mostly a photo post.

Firstly Thomas is really looking forward to his holidays in Spain:

Then, due to some buggy problems, we have found a temporary alternative, which is actually rather fun:

The buggy board was very kindly donated by Jo’s friend Victoria, who I met while I was still pregnant, to try and see how [...]

Just a couple of pictures of him, to remind me he’s cute when he keeps me awake all night.
He give me this puzzled look sometimes, as if trying to figure something out:

And here is another from the same shoot:

Ollie continues to be huge, and has already nearly outgrown the next two bags of Thomas’ hand-me-downs, as I haven’t got used to the fact he is so much bigger than Thomas was!

He has also developed cradle cap, which is totally yukky:

I finally met up with old school friends for a chat and babytalk, and [...]
