When we finally decided that perhaps it was time for a room-shift, Pink was removed from the spare room (where her cot had been camping next to the spare bed for… erm… two years *blush*), and moved into the tiniest box room – previously Jolly’s. He, in turn, was moved to the delights of the [...]
In true ‘Spotted!’ fashion, this is one that made my heart beat a teeny bit faster, and an actually ‘Oooh!’ escape me. At first glance, it’s not that much – just yet another page in the BBC shop, yes?
Heck, No!
Click on that ladybird, and you’ll arrive at the Vintage Audio section of the BBC shop, [...]
Thank you for all the concerned messages, mails and tweets regarding the loss of Mustafa, and some of the genius suggestions of places we had yet to look. Thankfully, just when we had finally given up all hope and were starting to compose begging mails to Maileg themselves for the supply of just-one-more even though [...]
As you, dear reader, will know, a love affair started in this house around Christmas time. These charming little mice did bewitch all of our hearts, but for Pink the love was total. This is her on Christmas Day night, poorly and restless in Mummy & Daddy’s bed:
And so the love began. Mimi and Mustafa [...]
So there I am, browsing Etsy, like you do (Oh yes you do) – when all of a sudden my attention is nabbed by the MOST lovely t shirt. Just how gorgeous can one pig print get? Best of all, being Etsy and therefore all hand printed (my fave bit – stamped with locally-grown potatoes) [...]

Instead, I’m thinking about all that ’stuff’ we had for Christmas. and what was really, truly, the best bits.
For No.1 son we did good this year. the most [...]
I have to admit I’m a bit of a late convert to slippers. Never wore them myself, and never really got why a thick pair of socks wasn’t better for the childrens feet than restrictive slippers.
Then I started to wear them myself (get thee away from me, cold feet), and was persuaded that they were [...]
Oh oh OH! How amazing is this set? I know we featured a Cloth-ears item yesterday, but browsing on the site I couldn’t resist this (do go and have a pootle round the site, it’s just stacked to the ears with yummy retro and vintage items that you’ll go ‘ooh!’ over).
My boys all LOVE playing [...]
All small boys love their tool box, don’t they? But the trouble is always the hammer. Making contact with your knees. And the television. And baby sister.

The set includes the tool box, hammer, screwdriver, wrench, and an adjustable wrench, [...]
