OMG! Where Has The Last 23 Years Gone

Posted on by Nigel

My eldest daughter turned 23 years old at the beginning of July and I thought to myself, OMG! Where have the last 23 years gone? The years really do flash by in the blink of an eye. For me it really only feels like yesterday that I would sit on the patio and count the stars with her on a summer’s night at sunset, and try to pass on some words of wisdom to her, although we have had this conservation on a few occasions recently about how when she was four years old she would sit with me on… [Read More]

Posted on by Nigel

Yesterday we went on a day trip to West Midlands Safari Park where they have a new feature called Ice Age.

Did I survive? Well, you will have to wait until tomorrow to see if I publish a full blog post review on our day trip to West Midlands Safari Park.

All this got me thinking that as a parent what are my own hopes and dreams for my children? I will always be proud whatever they decide… [Read More]

My Sunday Photo: Sibling Twin Love

Posted on by Nigel

If you have been reading my blog you will know that this has been a very tough week for me. Truth be told, since Christmas my health in general has been all over the place.

That’s another story when it comes to my GP, and there is no point holding a grudge. I need them on my side not against me at this time. Any way, a couple days after… [Read More]
