Train sets and five year olds go hand in hand, so when we were offered the Hornby Santa’s Express set to have a go with, I knew Joe would love it. To me, Hornby make ‘proper’ train sets – think of a huge table up in the attic covered in track, with little model stations… Continue reading review: hornby santa’s express
So last week a couple of things happened that made me a little sad. One was that Jake, at 15 weeks old, was now wearing 6-9 month size clothes, causing me to bag up all his smaller bits he would no longer need. The other was that my not so little bundle of joy was… Continue reading the last firsts

Does anybody else’s child talk the hind legs off everybody you come across wherever you go? Shop assistants, checkout operators, waiting staff, next-door neighbours, other passengers on the Metro – nobody is safe from my son and his never-ending stream of verbal consciousness.
