Each year we make a poetry box for the boys’ birthdays. A recently turned 6 and had a bunny themed birthday. Here is the bunny poetry box we made him. A link to how we created them can be found here.
A Day at The Roald Dahl Museum
We have been waiting to revisit The Roald Dahl Museum since it closed last year due to flood damage. We started the day doing the countryside walk which takes you into woods, across meadows and through the railway bridge where Roald Dahl told stories to his own children. It was a beautiful place to walk…
“Let’s Go Fly a Kite”
When we returned home after a lovely morning of Poppins Play, the boys carried on playing with the kites they had made and the kites we have at home. To add to our kite collection we found a beautiful old copy of a kite my Grandad used to make with us. Using just an A4…

The grown-ups were given little bag of hedgehog food to feed any hedgehogs in our gardens. Our cat, Pudding found the hedgehog food and seemed very interested in…
Wild Stories
A few pictures from “Wild Stories” with Vital Spark Theatre at Wandlebury Country Park. Dressed in our pyjamas, with a cup for hot chocolate we spent a lovely twilight creating watercolour pictures and making shadow puppets before the stories began by torch light. We are looking forward to the next Wild Stories at Easter.
The Gruffalo’s Child Storytelling
The boys love spending the afternoon at Wandlebury Country Park. There are lots of trails and areas to explore and little places to picnic in. As Winter is coming to an end we celebrated with a Gruffalo inspired picnic and some storytelling using our soft toys. A lovely afternoon – we are looking forward to…
