Balancing Cats
Winter-mode seems to have struck our household - with the clocks going back, the playground after school routine has lost its appeal and we're ransacking the toy cupboard looking for amusement. This week that's been provided by 'balancing cats'.
You can pile grandma, her parcels and her cats into some pretty amazing structures I can tell you. The game is officially called Matoudematata and we got it last Christmas at an amazing toyshop in Bath whose name has slipped my memory.
Oh yes, Bath. Andy and I are heading off there, sans children, for a couple of days next week. Grandparents are being shipped in, copious notes on routines, swimming lessons and lunchbox contents need to be written, the fridge will be fully stocked and then we are hitting the highway to freedom! A hotel, grown up meals, the possibility of a lie-in - oh yes, it's going to be good. So if anyone has recommendations of not-to-be-missed places, tell me quick.

Anyway, Bath, one of my favourite places! www.bijouxbeads.co.uk is in Abbey Street - they have a fab selection of umm beads! Olde Glory in Walcot Street also in that street is Walcot Reclamation. The antiques market in Bartlett Street and of course the (in)famous spa - you have to phone to book.
Have a fab time :)
I've never been to Bath but my parents have and loved it-said it is very pretty. Have fun!
Have a wonderful time on your getaway, I'm so jealous!
Grrrrr.
Oh have a fun time away!

but to be honest, time off from the kids, don't waste those precious moments trying to cram things in... stay in bed and order lots of yummy food!
I immediately googled them to find out whether I could get some.
Good luck with the purging, and good luck to me, too.
