I Saw (at least) Three Ships…..
Unlike the christmals carol, we in fact saw over 20 tall ships, and not on Christmas Day but in August in Belfast harbour, where amongst other things, they built the Titanic!

Been quiet for a few days as my father-in-law has been ill and died in hospital this morning. This bible verse brings us comfort…..Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.”John 16:22

Review of Bananagram – fun family game
- 1. It was promoted as a game for all ages (from 7 up)
- 2. It was Olympic 2012 special addition and I was in London and promised to bring home a souvenir
- 3. It looked fun while being educational too
- 4. Easily transported for family holidays
We have already played it with friends and family …. and it has been very popular.
The rules are easy, and it can be fun working in team with some of the younger players
The frequent request on completing a game is “just one more game please”
At Britmums I did see a number of other games from makers of Bananagrams and I would be certainly keen to try some more. This game was purchased by me, and all opinions expressed are entirely my own – promise!
What is your favourite family game?

A Soggy Saturday and an Early Christmas Present
Yes, it is a dark and wet Saturday afternoon, but I got my Christmas present VERY EARLY and managed to persuade my husband that waiting until Christmas morning would NOT be a good idea – what if I couldn’t use it properly and miss all the photos of the kids on Christmas morning! Which camera…

A fairytale castle in France
Today we headed for a chateau, which made a change from a cathedral! Or else there would have been a risk that this blog and our holiday would need to be remamed “a Tour or French Cathedrals while House Swapping”! It was in the beautiful village of Pierrefonds, and not surprisingly has been used as a…
Hello upgraded phone!
Sharing my daily iPhone photos on my blog
Looks like a hoot! I can’t remember the last time we played a game, so sad! We hope to go camping in the fall and then we will do that – my Mr. bought a Stratego game at a yard sale, he has fond childhood memories of it so guess who will be learning? Have you ever heard of it?
Thanks for sharing!
Blessings,
