Hi all,
Old news I know but summer has moved over to make space for autumn, which is a little sad for us here in Briton, who didn’t seem to get the summer we wanted. On one of the rare sunny days of the summer, I took this photo of a beautiful tree that I want to share with you. I walk past this tree every day on my walk in Bushy park with Plum and I think its magnificent.
Do you know what type of tree it is? Please comment if you can work it out!

Did you know that today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day? The day, which all started on September 1995, was originally a bit of fun between 2 friends in America but the trend has captured the imagination and sense of fun of thousands around the world who all celebrate with pirate themed parties and other activities.
Talk like a Pirate day has been celebrate since 1995
I love the harmless fun this day embodies and so thought it should be shared! A great day for kids to get involved in, play dress-up and learn about Pirates. You can find more out on this day on the official International Talk Like a Pirate website and there are also some fun activities for adults and children.
Hi all,
Today is National Stepfamily day in the United States. The day was set up in 1997 by a lady called Christy Borgeld in order to support stepfamillies of the US nation, helping them to support their children and to support them to become strong family structures.
What a lovely way to recognise the importance of the effort that many step-parents put into making family-life work and a great day to say thank you if you are part of a blended family.
I love days like these, where something that usually goes without recognition is brought to peoples attention.
Hello there,
Since the launch of the £15 Amazon voucher competition I have been inundated with emails from lots of people telling me which card is their favourite Christmas e-card and it made me realise that I might not have been completely clear about how to enter the competition. So just to make sure, here is how you can enter and be in with a chance to win a £15 Amazon voucher:
Hello all!
Today is the official Roald Dahl day, a day dedicated to one of the most inspiring and popular children’s authors ever seen. Today would have been his 95th birthday and is also the 50th anniversary of the book James and the Giant Peach and I for one would like to remember this brilliant man and his work on his birthday with a birthday e greeting and I have the perfect one; the birthday cake maker.
You can find out more about events and activities being held today along with other interesting information about Roald Dahl and his books here.
