I hope everyone has a safe and chocolate filled Halloween! For the first time ever Squidge was dressed in the “English” way. In the US we dress up as anything we like. Bags of M&M’s, bottles of Jack Daniel’s, princesses etc… In England it’s always always a spooky theme– witches, pumpkins, vampires, bats, mummy’s and… [Continue Reading]

Last week Squidge had her dance school Xmas show. She’d been practicing for weeks. I’d find her in the dining room singing little snippets of songs and doing little dance routines. She was too cute. I really need to buy a video camera!! So the night of the show we got there nice and early… [Continue Reading]
