02/02 already, where did that go?

I've massively slacked with the blog, yet again.

Pops and I visited family in london a week or so ago, it was really nice. We went up on the Monday (missed beans on Tuesday 😢) and MM followed on Friday after work. We spent monday-Friday at my dad's seeing my side and then the Friday-Sunday with MMs for our nephews 2nd birthday. 

TWO! I can't believe how quickly those years have gone and how close pops is to the big TWO too. 

Speaking of two, it's one of pops new words. 'Two,two,two' that's her counting. 

That and her new love for all things frozen!! 

18 months and they've already hooked her... She can't go more than an hour without singing let it go.

Until the next post,

Float like a butterfly sting like a bee.

On our week of London pops and I went for a walk around London to see some sites. She was asleep at all of them so it's something we're going to have to do again. We did manage to have a nice little 'picnic' in St James' park. All fun and games until a bee landed on pops leg. I noticed it and was just about to sweep it away and it stung her. I actually saw it sting her... Bloody bee. She made a small little cry when the stinger went in and then was fine. I took the stinger out and made a mad dash for a chemist... She was just sitting in the pram like nothing happened which made me panic more.

Long story short we got to a chemist got her some Piriton and she's completely fine.



Have you or little one been stung by a bee? How did you react? I've not been stung but assume I would be a proper drama queen...

Even more reason to sort my changing bag first aid kit (wish I had done it sooner)

Week away and saying goodbye. (Pretend it's Friday 14th)

MM and I spent today saying goodbye to his uncle john. We didn't take pops as we decided she's too young to understand what's going on just yet.

What's your view on things like that?

It was an amazing service and utterly heartbreaking to see everyone so sad. The priest was great and like he said 'morn that you will miss the person and you're parting but not that they are gone' I'm paraphrasing but it's a lovely message all the same.


Pops and I will be spending the week with dede in london without daddy (wah)
When we visit London usually were spread so thin I never get the time to see everyone I want to so this time will be different. We're going to have a very busy week seeing people and places.

Until the next post,
Are and Pops.
