CHERRY GOOD PICNIC ON NATIONAL CHERRY DAY
I had never picked cherries. When I was a little girl, cherries magically appeared to me, in a crinkled and scrunched up brown paper bag with the top rolled down, proffered by my beautiful granny on a Saturday afternoon after her mid-morning trip to the greengrocers at the top of her road. We spent afternoons…
IT’S PUMPKIN SEASON: OUR FAVOURITE AUTUMN MOVIES

Jensen has chosen his own costume that I’ve *cough* made (along with a matching one for his huge rubber rat and small collared versions for the…
IBM Father Christmas 2014 – The Grotto
On Friday night, IBM Father Christmas visited the IBM Clubhouse. He’s not THE Father Christmas, he’s special. We wandered through his magical grotto after checking in with his elves. The Christmas village was beautiful. Every year I vow to start one of our own. We met the jolly man, who gave us a mosaic…
