Fun stuff for kids and parents

Tried and tested on willing guinea piglets

This optimistic, self-employed writer, translator, columnist and mum knows that with kids, a dash of charm and a good giggle beat fear of failure every time.

So here are some out-of-the-box ideas to keep kids and parents happy for hours...

Here's wishing a Merry Christmas to you
Not too many  sweets - but not too few
With nice full tummies and Christmas sacks too
With friends and games and plenty to do
With hopes of a great big bone to chew
Good  it's a nice wide chimney flue
Then as the night turns sparkly blue
Cuddle up tight my dears, one, two
So Santa can come and sneak silently through... :o)


Merry Christmas and seasons greetings to everyone all over the world
from me, Jake and Watson (whose eyes are positively shining with doggy excitement)

Jakob catches two huge fish with his bare hands!!!!!!!


No waders. No bait. With nothing but his bare hands, my husband the master fisherman caught two huge fish! WOW!! Not surprising though really considering they were already dead. Yes, here in little old Denmark we've had another gale. They even gave it a name, Bodil, after our sweet, gentle Danish grandma on the boys' dad's side. This time nothing landed in our garden but on his way to checking our holiday cottage, Jakob crossed two recently flooded bridges across the fjord and literally picked up two smashing fish like the one in the photo!


Carp. Guess they misread the 'Carpark' signs!
