At the club with our friends, Viv and Felix + our boys

Sunday 9th October (delayed post);

Sean throwing a tantrum on Stoke Park's golf course

Quick, lets make a break while Mummy's not looking!

Pillars and palmtrees - South of France? - No, South Bucks! ;-)


Family Photo - Vivien, Felix, Oskar - and not forgetting little Dexter in Mummy's tummy!

Ball buddies

Look Daddy, let's go and play over there instead!

Sean and Oskar are not only mates but they also go to the same nursery

Vivien and I have grown really close since our boys were born in the same hospital with only a few days apart

Tickling Oskar with a feather as Sean looks on bemused, waiting for his turn

Give any boy a football and he's happy :-)

Upstairs downstairs - follow the leader

Having a swinging time

Boys talk (probably about nursery school fees and the cost of nappies! haha!)

Stay close and ill make sure you dont trip

Cheeky monkey!

Leafy walk

Taking Seany for a walk amongst the fallen leaves in the park, as a last resort to try and tire him out before bedtime

First full day at nursery

Today was the first time Sean spent all day (8.30am-6pm) at nursery. Below is an extract from his daily book that his nursery nurse, Amy, fills in each day:

Snack - Mixed fruits (didn't eat), rice cake, milk

Lunch - Fish (few bites), rice and vegetable (ate almost all), banana trifle - few spoons

Sleep - 12.45- 2.00pm

Tea - Carrot sticks and hummus (licked hummus off), fruit scone

Nappies - 2 wet

My day:

Sean enjoyed reading stories this morning and helping Cormat to build towers.

He also did some drawing and we played with animals. Outside he rode bikes and helped me to sweep the leaves. At lunchtime he ate very well and went to sleep very quickly. He had a VERY GOOD first whole day :-)

Sean got a sticker for helping well at tidying up time

Tea at Cocomaya w/lil bro..

Bear introducing Sean to sushi today. He ended up just eating rice and the soya beans, but a good start we thought! :-)

Mum's visit last month ♥

My Mum, my confidant and mentor, has taught me everything I know about bringing up children (and more!) and I find it so much harder when she leaves to go back to Sweden, since becoming a Mum myself.

I love the safe and comfy feeling of having her around, and she makes me so confident, like I can take on any obstacle that's being thrown at me. Already I am counting the days until she comes back in December :-)

Mum by Sean's nursery gates, dropping him off for the afternoon

Mum with best friend Jessica who came over for a weekend whilst Mum was visiting, here on our way out for a girlie night out in the heart of town




Pre drinks in the cosy court yard at Hush before dinner, where amazingly at the end of September, people are still dining outdoors



Fab gals, fab food and drinks, and who could've guessed that after eating, we all got up on the dance floor, to shake off those calories - a perfect ending to a perfect evening! :-)

New coffee/tea glasses

How do you like my new coffee/tea glasses? Ive been looking everywhere, for a long time for just the right ones; heat resistant with a stainless steel holder that are NOT the typical Irish coffee glasses.

So guess my surprise when I found them in a local hardware shop today? I got four to test them in the dish washer and to see how I liked drinking from them. I just love 'em and will rush back to buy the last pair they had! :-)

daydreamin'...

...in Starbucks, wearing my new favourite fashion (riding) boots with a quilted waistcoat (that happens to be my old Burberry jacket which I had altered to have the sleeves removed).

Our Amsterdam weekend

Amsterdam is a great city for walking around - no hills!

The staircase in our hotel was a real work of art

Lunching on the canal

Chilaxin'

Bear and I getting jiggy on the "dance floor" to some very good music!

The Supperclub in Amsterdam is a lot better than London, and a bit more edgy

Strolling around a new city is one of my fave pastimes

We stopped in front of this amazing building which is a museum and art gallery

It really was very pretty travelling through the city canals with the sun shining

Bear looking smug on a canal cruise!


On tip toes to kiss my man!

Great news in my inbox

Finally the good news we've been waiting for! :-) And for those who don't know, a creche is a temporary daycare for children and infants.

Dear Member,

As most of you will be able to see, we have started construction work on our new crèche. We aim to open the week commencing 11th October and are all very excited about the new improved area that will keep your little ones entertained.

The crèche will be open for Members children only and parents are asked to stay on the premises while their children are using the crèche.

Our loft-like hotel room
