Top (L-R) Maisy practising some gymnastics at Upton Country Park it started with some oh so lovely balancing quickly escalated into headstands. We all had a bash at trampolining last week at oxygen free jumping in Southampton – I don’t think I’ve had that much fun in years! Post will be up in the next couple of days so watch out for that. Blackcurrant in clotted cream – I have gone to town this summer on ice-cream, healthy living starts tomorrow. Middle (L-R) This week has seen the return of some ever so British weather, yes the rain DVD day’s…
The kids are back to school next week and whether it’s for their lunch boxes or for when the come home supposedly dying of starvation it’s good to have some ready prepared healthy snacks on hand to give them.
