The messy case of strangers on a train

This week my town made national news, when a YouTube video of a ‘fare-dodger’ being ejected from a train onto our local platform went viral. When it first came to public attention, the whole thing didn’t sit well with me. Another passenger apparently intervened to throw this teenager off, resulting in applause and shouts...

Competition: Win an indulgent weekend for two in the Lake District

Competition: Win an indulgent weekend for two in the Lake District

I have spent many happy holidays in the Lake District. The most memorable being the Christmas before I became a mum.

What I’ve learned on holiday

What I’ve learned on holiday

We’re in Torre del Mar, Spain, this week, enjoying some well overdue sunshine as we haven’t gone away so far this year.

Walt’s world

I have great memories of our last holiday in Florida. It was before kids, before we were even married, and we went with friends on a fly-drive. Just a map, a hire car and a list of places we wanted to visit. We stopped at motels along the way as we went from theme...

Pack up your troubles

If there’s one thing I just never learn, it’s how to pack effectively for going away. I either take too many clothes, which I never wear. Or I forget something crucial, like swimming costumes (I kid you not) and have to go on an emergency shopping spree when we reach our destination. So I...

Getting your thrills at home

Getting your thrills at home

I might have mentioned once or twice that we haven’t gone abroad this year – and how much of a relief it’s been not to negotiate a flight with two small children. We’ve really enjoyed our summer at home. Weekend trips away and days out have been enough to keep my two content. And...

Come Fly With Me – but you’ll have to put up with my kids!

Come Fly With Me – but you’ll have to put up with my kids!

This is an updated version of a post we wrote when Mummy Central was just a few weeks old. It was a guest post last week on Scribbling Mum. We thought you might like to take another look. And please let us know what you think. It’s holiday season, and I have to say,...

S is for …

S is for …

This post originally appeared on Tales From Windmill Fields as part of the Britmums Guest Post Match Up. It’s summertime, and most of our friends are packing up their suitcases and heading off in search of sunnier climes. As Billy Connolly once quipped, in Scotland our natural skin colour is a sort of light...
