Currently Reading | A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens

Image
I started the currently reading posts a while back and then just stopped, I completely lost my mojo with blogging for a long time but I am now ready to sort it out and hopefully post regularly. This book that I am reading is a classic festive story which I am sure most of you are aware of, I have never actually read this book even though I have owned it for 18 years. It is a little bit more of a harder read as the language is the classic Victorian style. Title: A Christmas Carol Author: Charles Dickens Publication Date: 1905 Genre: Fairytale/Fiction  http://amzn.eu/d/2Yd5MmV I would highly recommend reading this around Christmas time at least one in your life as it is such a well known story which even children can enjoy. My 6 year old loves the story. 

Currently Reading #2 • Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

I am back again with a currently reading, and yes its another Harry Potter book. I never actually finished reading the Philosopher's stone but I just couldn't resist starting the new book.  I started reading this book on the 5th of August and am already pretty much half way though. Considering how much of a slow reader I am thats good for me. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a follow on story from the Harry Potter series, it is set 19 years later with Harry Potters child Albus is the main character. The book is written in script form with staging ideas too. So far it is a brilliant book, a real page turner, the only issue is is that it makes me want to go a see the show in London. xXx

Lillys third birthday in pictures | 14th Septmeber

Monday was a wonderful day of celebration when our little girl turned 3. I thought that I would share a few pictures to you all. We were meant to be taking a family trip but the weather was completely against us so we let her play with all her new toys in the morning.  She woke up at 6:20 and was full of it from then on. We went into the frontroom to open her presents at about 9am, she was loving it. Ripping the paper off and seeing her new toys that she had to play with. In the after noon we took a trip over to Nanny's and Grandads where she had more presents to open, a huge '3' balloon and we did her birthday cake after lunch. Daddy had brought a '3' sparkler and we put two normal candles on too. This year she actually managed to blow her candles out, last year the wind did it for her lol. After her cake we spent some more time playing and then decided to come home again. She fell asleep on the way home but when she woke she had more energy to pla...

My week in pictures | 16th - 23rd August

My first one of these and not a lot of pictures to share so I did add last Sunday too. We decided to go and take Nanny's dog buddy for a walk, the view from our local country park is beautiful and you can actually see France some times.  Everytime we asked Buddy to stop and wait Lilly would sit her hum down and wait to. She looked so cute hidden in the grass. I noticed that I didn't have a lot of pictures with my sidekick lately so I got my phone out and did some silly selfie with her. She pulls the funniest face but this was my favourite picture of us both. Lastly I have had a splitting headache for the past two day so my wonderful other half took me to the shop for some paracetamol and lucozade and also picked up Girl Online for me too. I am so happy to actually have my hands on this book and cannot wait to start reading it.  I know there's not a lot of pictured but I would like to make this a weekly thing so keep and eye ...
