Beary Adventurous Days Out – with Barny

When I signed up to the Barny Little Adventures with BritMums, I really didn’t know what I was getting myself in for. The moment the children knew about the word ‘adventure’ they wanted just that – an adventure. A walk in the park would not do for them – they wanted the whole hog.

30 Years – 3 Hundred Thousand Memories….with BritMums and SpecialK

30 years – 3 hundred thousand memories… (no, I am not going to list them all!) A big thank you to BritMums and SpecialK for thinking  up this excellent linky challenge – ‘How I’ve Changed’. In writing this post, I have gone back in time to so many beautiful memories that have resurfaced today. 30 years ago, I was 10. Life was easier then, I guess. No responsibilities except my schoolwork. It was only play and friends and laughter. I loved listening to music, singing and writing. Some of my favourite songs (and they are still quite popular today) were …
