Last week, we went to the VICTA summer family weekend at Kingswood, Colomendy with our buddy dog, Mabel. This was our second time participating in these activity weekends organised by VICTA. The first time we went was last year at Dearne Valley.
Getting Your Garden Ready for Summer
Now the sun is out, is your garden looking rather sad at the moment? Are you itching to make plans for your garden for entertaining this summer? If yes, here are a few ideas you could consider to get your garden summer ready for your guests, before dragging out the garden furniture and making the most of whatever outdoor space you have.
Wild Garlic
I first came across wild garlic when I won a vegetable box through a local food and vegetable business ten years ago. Since then, my husband is always looking out for it but it’s not something you find in your local supermarket.
Geometric Door Designs
Recently, I have used Washi tape to create these amazing geometric designs to update my cupboard doors. In fact, updating the furniture has been on my mind for many months but I had put it off. I finally mustered the courage to work on it and I’m really happy with the result. It is so affordable and the results are amazing.
Can furniture with wooden table legs make the dining room homely?
Can furniture with wooden table legs make the dining room homely?
Furniture is a nice addition to the interior of any room. For many, wooden furniture is an association with the past and even a kind of muveton. But with the emergence of various new styles of interior wooden furniture has become more popular. Therefore, even wooden table legs can give additional charm and have become top sales among all furniture stores. Let’s try to figure out when such furniture can have a positive effect on the interior.
Different Types of Guide Dogs Harness
Earlier this week, I went down to Guide Dogs National Centre, Warwickshire, for a parent’s workshop and had a tour around the National Centre facilities. The tour was a behind-the-scenes look at how every guide dog begins their journey. We also got to see some of their puppies from the viewing platform as they eat, sleep and play.
Adding Value to Your Home: A Guide to Building a Carport
For the most part, garages are designed to house cars; however, using a garage every day is impractical. If you don’t use your garage for your car, then it also frees it up for other uses, like storage or even using it as another room to extend your living space. Building a carport for your vehicles makes a lot more sense, it is far easier than using a garage, and it can also add value to your property. Keep reading to learn more.
Geomag E-Motion 32 Review
Swiss brand Geomag has recently released a brand new range called E-Motion, which helps learn all about invisible forces, such as acceleration, magnetism, gravity, propulsion and friction. There are three sets to collect: Blister, Display and 32. I have received the E-Motion 32 set to review.
Newton’s Lab Make Your Own Catapult
Thanks to this Newton’s Lab Make Your Own Catapult kit from Kikkerlandeu.com, this Easter half term, we have been having fun catapulting lots of treats to our buddy dog Mabel. Through this kit, we have been learning about Newton’s first law of inertia and gravity by making our own catapult. Then we measured how far projectiles land and plotted the variations on a graph chart.
What is a Buddy Dog? Discovery Day
Some of you may know that we had Mabel since October 2020. She is our daughter’s buddy dog from Guide Dogs. I have not blogged or told many people about Ms C’s eye condition. It took us many years before we had a diagnosis for her in December 2019. It was not promising for her and then we had the Covid lockdown situation so it was a tough year for her. She had to miss most of her year 6 and jump into year 7 in a new school with none of her primary school buddies. Then with more lockdown and isolation, she had to miss a lot of school.
