Ellie is 3 today 🥳 she’s celebrated with long walks and by inhaling peanut butter and carrot ‘pupcakes’.

We took a walk yesterday that led us past Tolkien’s old house, “Rock Cottage”, and my eagle-eyed 9-year-old spotted something... 👀

Anyone else send unintended stickers in WhatsApp?

One of last year’s regrettables just shared with my sister 🤦‍♀️

It’s pay day and I’ve booked it off work to get Christmas presents 🎁

Santa’s little helper here is supervising the online purchases.

Or watching for what I’m getting her, maybe? 🤔

The Runaways by Ruth Thomas. I loved this book so much! And anything by Nina Bawden.

In 1916, Tolkien moved to Great Haywood with his wife Edith, to train for WW1 at Brocton camp.

Between the two locations, by foot, is this wonderful, human-like oak tree planted 500 years ago, during the reign of King Henry VIII.

What’s up? Indeed. And what is down? Who knows at the Quirky Quarter in Liverpool 🤷‍♀️

(We highly recommend it)
