Calvin's hospital trip


Our poor little Cal man got scalded with water from our Quooker tap yesterday. It all happened without us realising even though the wee man cried for an hour while we thought he had trapped wind. It was only a few hours later when I was putting on his coat to take the kids for a walk that I noticed his trouser leg was wet. I rolled it back to discover that his little calf was burnt and the skin had come away. After a 2.5 hr wait in A&E we had it dressed and were on our way home again. The wee soldier smiling the whole time.

An ordinary afternoon





It seems we spend a lot of our afternoons like this. The weather is cold or wet or both so we huddle in the lounge/kitchen round the wood burning stove doing homework, playing with puzzles or playdoh and listening to music through Alexia. This week MJ has introduced us to 'Imagine Dragons' but his favourite song is still 'Midnight by Cold play'.
Lj and I long to be outside playing tennis or walking the tow path spotting Herrons. Let's hope we have an early spring.

Christmas 2017

It will soon be a month since Christmas but 'better late than never'. Here are a few pics to summarize our week in Chester. I got a new phone for Christmas so I'm really hoping I take more and better photos in 2018.
