We saw “IBM Father Christmas” yesterday. Yes, that’s his name. He brings presents to all of the boys and girls of IBM parents, then he goes off to help the normal Father Christmas, apparently. He also provides a magic show, disco, face painter and card making station. He’s pretty amazing.
I had no idea that we were going to be enjoying our first Backyard BBQ of the year this weekend – but when I woke up on Saturday, Gav casually mentioned that he’d already invited his parents over for just that – that afternoon. After the fastest get-your-clothes-on-and-get-out-of-the-house-and-into-the-car performance in recent history [second only to the…
As I’m such a whizz with technology, it took me until yesterday to finally locate the photos of our first ever Christmas tree chopping expedition, but here they are. Three months late.

I remember draping huge flags from our halls…
So this year we headed back to the hidden Christmas tree farm in Wellow. I’ve actually lost count of the number of annual Christmas tree chops we’ve had but I really should count them. This tree is the second time we’ve had from this gorgeous little farm because I had no idea that it existed…
On my birthday, when Jensen Indiana was only 4 weeks and one day old, my sister in law took me to a shop in Winchester where babies’ footprints were painted onto items of crockery as keepsakes. Just because it seemed the thing to do, I had Jensen’s little imprints on a clock (for a particular…
