The BritMums Blog

Did you go to Cybher last weekend? I was one of what seemed like only a handful of people who weren’t there and I was reading my twitter timeline with close scrutiny.

You know that ark that I started building last week? Well, darn it, the rain has lessened a bit and it seems I don’t need it after all! Darn. I was really enjoying the sawing and hammering, as were my neighbours. Oh well, I’ll just work on it next week when I’m sure the rain [...]

(see you there?). One of the things I have loved the most about [...]

Ah Spring! Or is it our Summer? I have a feeling Autumn will be rolling back in next week and perhaps Winter the week after? Until then we’ll be sitting in the garden today and this weekend, grateful for the good weather that pretty much all of us have enjoyed this week. In the meantime, [...]
