Like all mums, I juggle a lot of balls. In fact I have started to wonder what I used to do with my time before I became a parent. The hours of my week are now gobbled up by my part-time job in PR, a little bit of freelance work to top up the pennies,…
Someone has been paying their dues to the weather Gods as we’ve been enjoying some scorching trips away recently. Last weekend we pitched up on a rally at Newbury Rugby Club. The rally had been organised to coincide with the Summer Solstice and some of our more enthusiastic neighbours were up to see dawn on…
When I say training, I don’t necessarily mean for the dogs. When Mr Tin Box and I first discussed bringing a dog into our lives, we had a lot of very grown up conversations. Could we give a dog enough attention? Would we miss the freedom of last minute holidays? Did we have a big enough garden?…
Baby passport photos are always hilarious, and Tin Box Tot’s is no exception. We recently applied for her first passport as we are flying to Sweden for a wedding in August. I was dreading taking TBT to have her photos done at our local London Camera Exchange shop. I had visions of her wriggling for…
We had a bit of rain and sunshine at the weekend. But being the hardened caravanners that we are, it didn’t stop us having a good time and exploring our latest destination – West Sussex. Tin Box Tot ready for all weathers at Orchard Farm We were staying at Orchard Farm, a Camping and Caravan…

Well, that’s it. The summer is well and truly over. Once the clocks have gone back, it’s impossible to ignore the fact that the days are getting shorter and it’s time to break out the winter woollies. However, it’s not all bad. In fact, Autumn is one of my favourite seasons. Our recent visit to…
Part three of our summer tour saw us leaving the beautiful Lake District and heading across the border into Scotland – Tin Box’s first ‘foreign’ trip. As well as adding to a growing list of stunning holiday stop offs, we travelled to Ayrshire for the wedding of our good friends Caroline and Stuart. The setting…
After a great week in Devon, we started the long journey north to see friends get married in Scotland. We split the 350 mile trip into two parts to keep us in the holiday spirit and to introduce baby Tin Box to more of the British countryside than she could see from her car seat….
