Jubilee Fashion
May 17, 2012
Are you having a street party or a get-together with neighbours to celebrate the Queen’s diamond jubilee? Or are you off to London to support Team GB in the olympics and would like something patriotic to wear? I’m afraid this is a shameless advert for the Union Jack dress I’ve made and is for sale on my etsy shop, OshunCreations.
If you’re after some ideas for the Jubilee, this is what our village is getting up to…

Stourhead National Trust Property in Wiltshire
August 5, 2011
There aren’t many National Trust places near us, so on a year when we’re not travelling round England, we tend to visit the local places several times. Stourhead is one of these, and although I’ve done the gardens a couple of times, I’ve only just visited the house. These are my thoughts on whether it’s worth the visit…
Glastonbury Review 2011 – Circus & other bits
July 13, 2011
We missed the circus tent last year due to the intense heat under canvas, however this wasn’t a problem for the first few days! On Friday we got to spend an hour or so in the circus big top, and on Saturday we watched The Infinite Monkey Cage in the Cabaret tent. Here’s my review of those sorts of acts I saw.
Glastonbury Festival 2011 music review
July 1, 2011
Every year I intend on looking at the line-up and discovering some new bands before we go by looking their songs up on You Tube. Mostly, I run out of time and don’t do it at all, or I do it too soon and forget their names by the time of the festival. Next year I will I will I will! I want to know more good music! Anyway, this is my round-up of the musical acts that I did go and see.
Glastonbury Festival 2011 Review
June 28, 2011
It will definitely be remembered as a muddy one, that’s for sure! My daughter can talk for hours on the different types of mud; its consistency and texture and her favourite types! A little bit of mud is not too much of a problem when it’s wet, it is when the mud starts to dry out it becomes more of a problem. It turns to glue. Getting out of the Other Stage field after Jessie J was nigh on impossible. My feet got stuck with every step and it was very painful struggling with my boots. Other than that, I’m not complaining – we were due a muddy one really.

Sunset on Wednesday
Now all that’s left is the rubbish and a few stages to come down; we can reflect on the mud and the sunshine.
