This has been weeks in the writing. How do I get the tone right in these strange times? The number of times I've been mulling over what to write and getting nowhere, because there's really nothing at all that I can usefully say just now.

#KillultaghRunning
We visited family and friends in England during February half term. I was surprised at how many people commented on my lack of blogs...and I'm touched that anyone noticed! Why the silence? It's been busier than last year here in 2020... The boys are hugely enjoying school and go to various energetic activities afterwards most … Continue reading #KillultaghRunning

From the moment he wakes, til the moment he finally drifts off to sleep, he keeps up a constant narrative to his … Continue reading It’s Chriiiiiiistmas….!

It's been a delight to welcome family from both sides of our household at either end of this busy week, so this blog is all update and no pontificating!! We had the McMillan parents here last weekend, as well as some dear friends from Oxford who were passing through. The boys were so excited to … Continue reading Weekenders…
Counting our blessings!
Where are the days going!?! We've had a week of school, homework, conferences, work, networking, and lots of early nights in an attempt to stave off threatening colds and coughs...bar one evening spent in town drinking hot chocolate, eating cheesey chips and watching the Christmas Light parade with the switching on of the Christmas Lights. … Continue reading Counting our blessings!
