Tonight we went out to celebrate David’s mum, Sandra’s birthday with a lovely meal at Ashoka Southside. We all love the food there, and once again, it didn’t disappoint! Sandra really enjoys this restaurant, so it felt like the perfect spot to mark her special day. Great food, good company, and lots of laughs—just the way a birthday should be. ❤️ Happy Birthday, Sandra!

My little niece, Sophie, was born yesterday and she is absolutely gorgeous! I can’t wait for all the snuggles and to watch her grow. The boys are so excited to meet their little cousin and can’t wait to spoil her with all their love and attention.

Huge congratulations to my sister Jennifer and Stuart on their beautiful bundle of joy! Your family just got even more perfect, and we’re all so thrilled for you. Welcome to the world, Sophie – we can’t wait to see what adventures you’ll bring!

We had such a lovely afternoon today, spending time with family and meeting Laura’s brother for the first time! It was great to finally put a face to the name and get to know him. We also had the pleasure of seeing mum Beatriz again, which was wonderful.

The kids had a blast and it was just a nice, relaxed time with lots of laughs, catching up, and making new memories. Can’t wait for more days like this!

What a lovely afternoon we had today, celebrating the 4th birthday of these two gorgeous little ones – Blair and Campbell!

It was such a fun and joyful time, watching them open presents, play with friends, and enjoy their special day. The energy and excitement from these two were contagious, and it was heartwarming to be part of their celebration.

Here’s to many more happy birthdays and wonderful memories ahead!

Tonight was one of our favorite traditions – David and I had our usual curry at the Ashoka, followed by a few drinks at The Bank. The food was, as always, delicious, and the company was even better.

This year was extra special, though, as it was the first time Alexander stayed up to see the bells!  It felt like a big moment for him, and the excitement in the air was contagious as we counted down to the New Year together.

A perfect way to end the year, surrounded by great food, drinks, and family. Here’s to many more memories in the year ahead!

It’s that time of year again… Panto season! This year, we headed out to enjoy the classic tale of Peter Pan, and what a fantastic time we had. From the very first “Oh no it isn’t!” to the final applause, it was full of laughs, songs, and all the usual panto magic.

The boys were on the edge of their seats. The interaction with the audience was brilliant, and the kids couldn’t stop joining in with the shout-outs. The whole cast really brought the story to life.

By the end, we were all singing the songs and talking about the fun we’d had. Panto really is a Christmas tradition that brings so much joy – can’t wait to see what next year brings!
