A Day At Legoland Windsor Duplo Valley
| May 21, 2013 | Posted by Luschka under Around England, Travel |
On Sunday we had a spectacularly rare event: a family day out. It’s normally one of us, going out with the children to give the other some time off. It’s rare that we all go out together, so this was blissful. We also often go to Legoland Windsor, because it’s pretty close to us, so…
We’re All Going On A Summer Holiday…
| May 10, 2013 | Posted by Luschka under Around England, Travel |
Actually, we’re not. That’s been the worst part of having children for me: the loss of holidays. I know you’re saying ‘say WHAT!’ or something like that, because we seem to have done nothing but travel over the last three years, but we haven’t had a holiday in over two years!
Land Of Kids Festival, Hackney, London
| May 6, 2013 | Posted by Luschka under Around England, Travel |
My family and I attended the Land of Kids Festival in Hackney, London today. I was thrilled when we were invited because we pretty much end up doing nothing most Bank Holiday weekends, and this one we were sick for most of it to boot. While none of us are back to 100% health, we…

We’re still in this infernal limbo. At least we have a date now for Dddy to come and visit… we can’t wait! Now we’re just counting down the days, spending as much time wint my mum as we can between everything and getting on with life.

As regular readers will know, I’m currently in Australia tending to my terminally ill mother. Our initial plan was to come out for three months, with the possibility of extending to as much as six months depending on her treatments and the ongoing changes in prognosis.
Mamatography 2013, Week 2: Hot And Beautiful

It’s heating up here in this desert-like summer on the underside of the earth. Our movements are largely curtailed by the heat, and by swimming, and by laying low. We’re making friends, which is nice. And sad because I know it’s not for ever, but loving every moment of the good stuff for now.

Mamatography Week 51: Making Memories
| December 26, 2012 | Posted by Luschka under Around Australia, Mamatography, Travel |
We’ve been in a weird sort of limbo of late. My mother is having regular Vitamin C intravenous treatment and while it may not be doing anything for the cancer itself, as far as we know, she has more energy than most of us, and you wouldn’t know she was sick if you didn’t know.…

Whether your next holiday sees you bumper to bumper on the M4 or flying off on a Thomson holiday to Majorca, one thing is certain: the key to surviving a long journey with children, is being prepared. I am heading off to Australia with the girls soon to spend some time with my parents, and while…
Day Trip To Thomas Land, Drayton Manor

There’s something in the water, these days, that’s making children grow super fast. I’m sure of it. The first time we took Ameli to an amusement park, she spent the whole time in a sling and slept through most of it – and she was only able to go on the train that goes around…
