So like anyone starting something – I’ve just begun to find out how little I know! The boys have had 3 weeks at nursery, which means I’ve had 6 half days to start interacting with the world again (except one morning Ollie was ill, and one afternoon spent sorting out admin). Gosh it’s [...]

We went out to lunch today, after Saturday Morning Toddler Group. We decided to try Pizza Express again, even though our last experience was awful. Last time we were put in the middle of a very crowded room and then waited for [...]
