CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE | Gifts Dad Will Actually Love

December 16, 2018

Christmas shopping can be hugely stressful and for some reason I find the men folk are always the trickiest to buy for. I can never think of anything ‘good’ to gift and likely get it totally wrong with some random gadget. How can gifting be […]

So good to be back visiting our local castle with no more restrictions. Did I say it felt good?! #englishheritage #richmondcastle #familydaysout #richmondnorthyorkshire #summerholidays

We were excited to see a small crop of strawberries ripe for picking this morning. As well as some strawbs we also have some golden raspberries coming out daily now. No one else likes them though so it’s win win for me! Love having fruit to eat every time we go into the garden. 🍓 #fruitpicking #gardenfruit #britishstrawberries #growyourown #growyourownfruit #homegardening #littlegarden #littlegardener #summerholidays2021 #summerholidaysuk

[ad] Yep this is good! Sitting in the garden together, yummy food smoking away on the grill and now the sun’s breaking out. Now this is how you start the school summer holidays! We’ve spent the afternoon sorting out and tidying Reuben’s toys so a BBQ tea feels like a nice rewarding treat too. #goodtimes #jackssupermarket #familytime #summerbbq #bbq #barbecuetime #familytimeisthebesttime #goodbyeheatwave

[ad] Guess what we’re doing for tea? A BBQ! Yeah the heatwave appears to be over and it’s not even sunny so really we’re just missing the rain and it’s perfect barbecue weather isn’t it?! 😄 We went to @shopjacksuk for our BBQ goodies seeing as they stock the fab Tesco ‘Fire Pit’ range so it was even cheaper. Got some bargain burgers, jumbo sausages (which Reuben said were all for him) and some delicious chicken fillets in an exotic marinade. £2.99 a pack which is ridiculously good value. I love a good bargain, me! Anyone else having a BBQ over the weekend? #jackssupermarket #bbq #weekendbbq #bbqfood #discountsupermarket #mumsofinstagram #mumssupportingmums #mumsquaduk

That’s that for nursery then. Reuben didn’t want to go and to be honest I felt apprehensive too. It’s the end of an era that means something bigger and scarier comes next. Let’s try not to think about it, hey? 🙃 The summer hols have arrived and I don’t need to worry about whether the uniform is washed. 😄 #lastdayofnursery #lastdayofschool #summerholidaysarehere #endofanera #wheresmybabygone #nomorenursery #lastdayofpreschool #myfamily #mumssupportingmums #parentingwithanxiety

Well today was fun. 🙃 We realised lunchtime today that Toby was missing. Turned the house upside down looking for him, checking the silly places we’ve found him before like behind the tv or under the bookcase, but nope. Nowhere in the garden. Not under the bed with Freya. I was beside myself and never felt more hopeless. I sat on the bedroom floor and cried. Please God, let Toby be alright. I posted on Facebook to say Toby’s missing and I shared to a local page, desperate for someone to have seen him. Me and Reuben went out to search the street, hopped over fences, asked people in the street. Then Sean called out that the neighbour had seen someone reply on Facebook saying that a rabbit had been found and taken to the vets. So so incredibly thankful for his safety. Apparently the bin men had spotted him on the road and stopped the traffic, while a lady offered to take him to the vet. This is a mental road that people often speed down; I’m not joking when I say that i feared he’d be dead if he touched the road. This little furry guy had his guardian angel for sure. #sothankful #furfamily #houserabbit #lostandfound #myfurbaby #rabbitsofinstagram

So we did The Big Step Forward yesterday! Absolutely beautiful weather (read: gloriously sunny but ridiculously hot) and we got round our entire route locating all the places my Dad was associated with. Born in 1941, he grew up in Helmsley in a different era. The days you’d get clipped round the lugs by the local bobby and get your catapult confiscated (! 🤣) and your behind tanned by your mother for lying about how you ended up soaking wet in the river. 🤣🤣 Loved hearing my Dad’s stories. This walk was for him. Love you Dad, miss you so flipping much. 🥰😭 #thebigstepforward #pancreaticcancer #pancreaticcanceruk #fundraising #charitywalk #walkingforcharity #familyiseverything

It’s crunch time! 💜 This Saturday we finally get to do our memory walk for Dad. The Big Step Forward is happening countrywide all on the same day, bringing together all who want to bring an end to cancer. Pancreatic cancer is horrendously aggressive and has the highest death rate of all cancers. Help us to help @pancreaticcanuk work towards better treatment, a cured future and enable them to support cancer patients and their families. 💜💜💜 There’s still time to sponsor me if you haven’t already. Please do, whatever you can afford. https://www.thebigstepforward.org.uk/fundraisers/beckyconnolly/virtual-big-step-forward-2021 #endcancer #fightcancer #fightcancertogether #pancreaticcancer #pancreaticcancerawareness #pancreaticcanceruk #thebigstepforward #bigstepforward #purplehearts #purpleheartsforpancreaticcancer #doingitfordad #sponsormeplease #charityfundraiser #walkingforcharity #womensupportingwomen #mumssupportingmums #parentblogger
