Today, after months of claiming to be three years old, Lucy finally reached that milestone. She has her birthday party next Saturday so today we celebrated as a family.
She opened a few cards over breakfast and also a couple of her bigger presents: a pushchair with doll and a micro scooter. After Oliver’s swimming lesson [...]

As they might say on TV…

Breakfast at McDonald’s: 5 quid.
Cycling to Subway for lunch, towing Oliver on the tag-a-long bike: 6 quid plus some sweating.
Spending the day with my son then having him tell me, unprompted, what a great day he had with me: priceless!

On bees
April 20th, 2010 · 7 Comments · breakfast, conversation, food, oliver
As part of breakfast this morning, Oliver and I ate toasted English muffins with margarine and honey.
Oliver: Do bees make honey?
Daddy: Yes.
Oliver: How do they make it?
Daddy (trying to remember): They collect nectar from the flowers and take it back to their nest to make the honey.
Oliver: But how do they make it?
Daddy (stumped): Erm, [...]

Saturday Snap (Late edition)
March 15th, 2010 · 2 Comments · food, lucy, oliver, photo
I should like to point out the following facts pertaining to the above photograph:
It is not posed, this is exactly how I found them, fruit and all!
I get this level of photographic co-operation about once a year.
Yes, I really should have sorted out Lucy’s hair by 12.43pm.
And last but not least, my ever decreasing [...]

She’s a peach
October 6th, 2009 · No Comments · food, lucy
Lucy currently loves peaches. Here she is pictured in the final moments of a single-handed demolition of a nice big, juicy peach. All that’s left is the stone.
Delightful though it is that she eats healthy fruit such as this, her table manners leave something to be desired at the moment. She has developed a liking [...]

Oliver: the chef
October 4th, 2009 · No Comments · food, lucy, oliver
On visiting the “big” Tesco this Saturday morning, Oliver’s eye was caught by the fresh fish counter. He asked whether we could get some. Readily I obliged, buying 3 skinless, boneless salmon fillets that were on offer, without the slightest idea how I would cook them such that my kids would eat them.
However, I had [...]

Lashings of hot buttered everything
August 5th, 2009 · 2 Comments · food, laughter, lucy, oliver
Lucy has developed a near obsessive fascination with the art of buttering toast. And buttering bread. In fact if it can be buttered, she is probably prepared to do it. Things have got so bad that we have bought two lots of butter/margarine/spread/whatever-21st-century-term-you-prefer in order that the cheaper one is what Lucy uses when she [...]

Refreshing breakfast
July 23rd, 2009 · No Comments · breakfast, food, lucy, oliver
Yesterday at our local Somerfield, Oliver, not content with just his favourite Granny Smith apples, decided we should buy a melon.
And so it was this morning that with great import I chopped large segments of melon for the kids. Oliver tucked in with some vigour. (Please excuse the blurry images.)
Lucy less so, after an initially [...]

How do you like them apples?
March 15th, 2009 · No Comments · food, lucy, oliver
Oliver has been keen on apples for some time, but only recently has his sister started to treat them as something to eat rather than just chew then spit out. I took a few shots of them with a borrowed Nikon D40 DSLR. In the midst of the credit crunch and with the wedding approaching [...]
