World Book Day
To celebrate World Book Day, the little lady dressed as Ballerina Bella from “Ballerina Bella and the Lucky Locket“. Coincidentally it is Ava’s ballet day today. I wonder whether the ballet cardigan will survive a day at pre-school…

He said Mummy
Who would have thought I would have found so much to talk about but here I am at my 50th blog post. Rather aptly it’s a video showing my little man saying ‘Mummy’ properly for the first time!

Happy Birthday Grandma
As promised in my post ‘Happy Birthday Grandpa’, my challenge was to make a coffee and walnut cake for Grandma’s birthday and I think with a little help from Masterchef judge Gregg Wallace and the veteran of a thousand cake sales as described by the BBC Good Food website, I did pretty well. I took the ingredients for the sponge element of the cake from the traditional coffee and walnut cake recipe (although I finely chopped the walnuts rather than halved them) and the icing, filling and decoration from Greg Wallace’s recipe. I was ably assisted by the little lady and my twin brother (who was making a special flying visit) but as you can see from the photographs they preferred to lick the whisks rather than do the hard graft!

I want to ride my bicycle
Finally the little lady has got to grips with her ‘new’ bicycle (she has had it a year and a quarter). If you listen very closely you can hear her saying ‘I can do it Mummy!’. It’s been so long since she last wanted to ride her bicycle (and to be fair, it hasn’t really been the weather for it) that it is time to raise the seat!

Who says you can’t buy a boy flowers for Valentine’s Day?
Okay so I cheated a little but I think the ‘boy’ in question was quite impressed with this little Valentine’s offering. Unfortunately for him and as politely reminded by his 4 year old daughter this morning, ‘no touching the chocolate until Easter, as we have given up chocolate for Lent’!
