The true beauty of Coombe Mill really cannot be encapsulated online. No matter how many talented photographers share their snaps there is nothing that can prepare you for the magic. We were very lucky to visit for the morning and I could really see us staying there with the boys not wanting to leave. So tranquil … Read more
Micro-Scooters for Schools At my youngest children’s school last week we had a Family Night and raffle where over £1,200 was raised. I would like to take this opportunity to say a big Thank you to Micro-Scooters UK for donating a Maxi Micro Scooter with T-Bar as a prize. A little boy who is turning 6 very soon … Read more
My almost five year old boy typically loves Superheroes. So how fantastic was it for him to be able to help me review some DC Super Friends books from Random House.
