Today was a bit manic, this morning I took Theo to soft play after his morning nap and then we went to do the Christmas food shopping. Mistakes I made It’s always unwise to drive into the city centre a few days before Christmas but It was chucking it down and I didn’t fancy walking […]
Today we headed out at lunchtime to Notcutts, I took the pram with me but didn’t end up using it as I wanted to show Theo everything. I’d not been to this garden centre before but had heard about it, It has a huge outside space where you can currently get your own Christmas trees. […]
