Clothes for Tall Women? I give you – Long Tall Sally. *nods*

The one and only problem I have with being tall (I’m a pretty happy 6’) is finding clothes to fit. And it’s not just the height thing, either – I’m not a nice evenly spaced stretched-out medium person.  Oh No. I have the back length of a 6’2” person, and the legs of a nicely above average 5’10”. Oh, and I’m also of above-average hip-and-boob-age. As you can see, clothes shopping is generally a disaster. Nothing fits up and down...

The Shark Steam. I love it.

*yawn* I know, right? A steam cleaner? Seriously? But – bear with me. Because I love this little purple baby. I really do. And I’m no clean freak. In fact, I try very hard to do as little housework as I possibly can.

I have hardwood flooring and tiles throughout...

Keycamp – family friendly holidays in France? Yes, please.

I’ve said it before (in fact, last year when we had a Keycamp review trip…) – Keycamp is not our usual choice of family holiday – we’re far more likely to be found in an isolated cottage half way up a mountain, or camping in a field with only sheep for neighbours. But we reviewed Keycamp last year (with some trepidation)… and had a blast. So when we were invited back this summer, I *might* have left...

Kickers shoes. Kicking.

I have to say, when my first child was growing, I insisted on going to a ‘proper’ shoe shop, and only buying one brand of ‘proper’ shoes. But now I’m a wise old mama of four, and I know that there are more than one type of shoemaker, and more than one brand does it ‘properly’. And actually, what you want in a shoe is a good spacious fit, sturdy build, and something good looking enough for the...

Feather Down Farms Days Review – Dolphinholme

Oh we were all so excited about Feather Down Farm. We do love the idea of an Enid Blyton-style family holiday and family glamping (albeit less than an hour away from home!) looked like it would hit the spot. We arrived mid-afternoon and transferred everything to our tent via wheelbarrow. I’d been a bit worried that we’d look like total hicks with our cardboard boxes of food (I told David to just take everything we had that...

Spotted! Retro Flask – with Owls!

I don’t think any picnic this summer should be without one, do you? (did you see it has OWLS on it? *happy*) Yours for under £13 from Cloth Ears
