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.

Piglets in clover by the seaside:o)

But no hornfish caught this time.
Good for the fish!

Easter egg hunt...

...at the cottage 

Jake's Godmum Jane was visiting so true to tradition we set out an
Easter egg hunt while no one was looking.
Can you see Laura?

You have to keep your eyes open. I've been hiding eggs for about 22 years now
and always make sure they match their backgrounds.
Can you spot the egg?

Yes, well done. Knot difficult? :O)

Laura found lots. We make sure some are hidden low down
and some higher up so everyone has an equal chance.

Can you spot the five eggs?

Jake and Laura took a nice long time egg-sploring the garden.
They found lots!


Jane didn't.

But Jake and laura were kind enough to divide the eggs up evenly
and then we scoffed the lot.
Little Petra is too young for chocolate.
But she liked the teddies.

Happy easter, everyone!
