Somewhat shamefully, given that it is a 20 minute walk from our house, this is our first visit to the @morrisgallery since the 8yo was a toddler. I even wore a Morris-esque print in honour of the occasion.
Took the 7yo with me on the March of the Mummies this morning. I want her, and my 13yo daughter, to grow up in a world where there isn't a gender pay gap, where childcare doesn't cost a working family more than their housing, where dads get to play an equal part in raising their children, where adoptive parents aren't penalised, where women don't have to terminate a wanted pregnancy because they can't afford childcare.
Scampering through the autumn leaves in Calderstones Park, stop for a hot chocolate, and then helping Grandad make a bug mansion (bug hotels are so passe!) back at home. Gorgeous October.
Compulsory Pride face glitter selfie!
Girls' weekend in Brighton. Champagne, cocktails and carousels, an early(ish) morning swim, the Pride parade, a mooch around the shops, sitting in the sunny courtyard garden, bleary pyjama-clad pastry eating round the kitchen table, getting all dressed up to go and eat delicious Italian food and listen to drag queens doing karaoke. Spending time with some of my favourite humans in the world.
We had lunch @pizzaexpress on Saturday, and my 6yo was very taken with the competition on the Piccolo menu to compose some Christmas song lyrics. She has come home and given it a lot of thought, before coming up with this (to be sung to the tune of Jingle Bells). The prize is a family meal at Pizza Express, and she is very excited about winning it and getting to take us all out for dinner. Not winning hasn't really occurred to her as a possibility...
