Air quality in London is the worst in the UK and amongst the worst in Europe, caused largely by combustible materials forcing toxic particulates in to the air – car exhausts, industrial fumes etc. When inhaled these lead to [...]

Sublime and ridiculous all in one go…check out Fashion-Conscience for Vegan, Sustainable, Fair Trade and organic loveliness.
I am currently channelling 70’s mum and wearing wedges, denim and blousy t-shirts. I may crank it up a notch and channel 50’s mum in some sparkly peep-toes and something with a waist.

Ahhh honey honey….
Don’t worry – this is not another bee rant….
The lovely folk at sugar sugar are making me some authentic boob shaped cupcakes to go on my stand at Brighton Baby Expo. I’m going to give them away to happy customers and passers by and hopefully it will raise a smile, even if the football is [...]

Found these in the sale on asos.com – down from £80.00 to £25.00. Buy them before I do!

We are really lucky that we live in a town with volunteers and people that like to have a good time.
The combination of the two results in an annual festival called Beach Dreams where a marquis and stage miraculously appear at our local park and then bands, play, cake is eaten, people dance, parades are walked, flags are waved and most folk get [...]

Jensen is due to start school in September.
