CASTLE RISING, Norfolk

I love visiting castles and last week on our way from Norfolk to Cambridgeshire we stopped off at Castle Rising, a 12th century semi-ruined castle. It's really amazing how much is still standing, including some rooms that are stil… https://t.co/H847GuYLGc

@the_questmaster @premierinn I know! Saying that though a separate email from the hotel direct was sent from a 'Kings Lynn.TI' email address and they've not been a Travel Inn for about 15 years 😂

Someone needs to proof read your email @premierinn 🫣

8 years ago today... when I was very pregnant with Arlo and had a lump of a toddler who would often walk but often really didn't want to and wanted to be hefted about 🤣

I miss those days of tiny kids and not a lot of structure to our days and weeks… https://t.co/zTrcKENiqh

February in 30 seconds.
With a favourite Sugar Ray song chucked in for good measure because I actually don't care who sees this reel, it's basically for my memories 💕

Roll on March 🙌 https://t.co/ffswDqHfzT

A very Sunday sort of Sunday.
🌝 Up early to read a proper book (one with pages as opposed to an ebook) with a cuppa
🌞Washing load done, dishwasher on & kitchen tidied

Finished half term off with an accidentally longer than planned family bike ride on an unexpectedly gloriously bright day. Athena & Arlo are comparing distance on their watches here 🤣 we racked up 6 miles in the end.

It didn't really feel like half … https://t.co/FaBVYVszuf

Ad|gifted📚📚 @summersdalebooks sent the children three books to help support them during #childrensmentalhealthweek (and beyond, of course)

Another sunny afternoon at the allotment. We've chucked some onions, shallots and garlic in along with some potatoes that had been sprouting at the back of a cupboard since Christmas.

Who knows if anything will actually grow 🤪 I also met Alan who g… https://t.co/qLaxuLUHrl

A cold, icy, busy month with lots of baking, board games and my birthday = January 2023. Roll on the rest of the year 🙌 and another year of me recording a second a day. I still need to put all my months together from last year to make a video that co… https://t.co/dTEEDaBGTA

Day one at the Allotment! 🌱🌾🫛🌽🐛🪴
Athena and I spent two hours sorting, weeding, exploring, taking photos and enjoying each other's company. She weeded out these two planters so she and Arlo can have one each, and I found a garden claw in the gree… https://t.co/TDvEUWeRXO

Today is my birthday - but this is the last photo of me from Christmas Eve (apart from cat selfies in bed 😺) so I've sadly not been stomping about in the woods but at work. Which was, to be fair, lovely! I took in homemade fudge and they gave me a ca… https://t.co/9T7rQdrfKY

A bit of graffiti mimicking from a few weeks ago.
Getting back into the swing of things with the big old work/school/extra curriculars juggle and struggling if I'm being honest.

For seven years I've worked from home apart from the odd day at a clients … https://t.co/oWtrhyDuyh

Back to school has been tough for Arlo, I think having almost 3 weeks off was too much. He came out on his first day back complaining that the classroom is too noisy, he doesn't like that the tables are in lines now and lots more little things that all a… https://t.co/S5bTWvGHtS

A bizarrely chirpy thread for someone who is owed 500 Euro by @vueling. Hope you get it sorted, their lack of response is pitiful.

[Holly @Withsuchgrace]

Hello @Vueling! I’m posting this because you won’t respond to emails or answer your phones. I’ve made a claim under EC261 for a cancelled flight. You responded saying that the flight fell under ‘exceptional circumstances’ for ‘operational, technological, meteorological’ reasons.
