Finley

I tried so hard not to drag the kids down this year but in the end I couldn’t resist and they agreed after I let them take some silly selfies with my phone.

Back in Herm to finish setting up the pitch. Mammoth mission getting everything across but the second home is almost complete.
Back tomorrow for round three!

Finley fully kitted out for their Roman day at school. He definitely took his role very seriously!

Taking Alana’s friend Chole’s e-scooter for a test spin up the park this evening. I think I may have to invest in one for ‘the kids’!

Mothers Day adventures in the park we all grew up using. It was only right to finish with an ice cream to present it was summer!

Great afternoon with friends and amazing food to top it off. When you feel full though and the kids have had their sugar fix, things just seem to get louder and louder! Great to see them having a good time, can’t moan about that.

Finley having his first sleepover with his school friend Teddy. They were determined to stay up till 10pm which I though was reasonable but it ended calmly and I havn’t heard a peep out of them.

Stunning winter evening, out for a stroll with the gang. The kids had their pushangs to make life easier on their little legs. Finley had a new bike for Christmas and we managed to get a helmet to match the forks.

Another year has passed and I’ve seen some magical things on my travels. This island has so much to offer and I feel like I’ve seen everything I wanted to. Keeping up with tradition for the seventh year here’s our annual NYE family photo.
Happy New Year everyone!

Happy Christmas from me, Danni and our little monsters. The excitement has well and truly kicked in and we’ve tracked Santa at least twice an hour since this morning!

First day of the Crimbo holidays. Nice early start on the ice rink. Alana stayed in bed and Finley loved it until near the end when the blade of my skate went over his hand. Brave lad held it together well and we later discussed how bad it could have gone if he’d lost a finger! Seemed to work, putting in into perspective.

Our annual gngerbread afternoon with the kids. We had all shapes and sizes along with Finley’s Roblox man, complete with a generous third leg!

The Le Tissier’s in Herm. Amazing lunch in the White House and a nice stroll around the island to burn it off. I think we passed about 10 people on the way around the island!

Another year, another pumpkin portrait with the kids. I’m not sure how much longer they’ll play ball with this tradition but I did offer a small bribe beforehand. I think Finley would actually enjoy getting stuck in on a farm though, Alana I’m not so sure about.

Nice 4 miles hike/cycle around Pleinmont with a stop at the MotoX track. Finley didn't want to leave bless him but as you can see, he’s outgrown his bike and those little wheels don’t give much control in the dirt. Let’s hope Santa doesn’t have a shortage of Aluminium this Christmas!

Amazing weather for Finley’s friends party at the Fleur. Saw him wearing these novelty oversized sunnies and it reminded me of the classic cult film Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Out out for lunch at Hougue du Pommier with the family. If you love curry, the chicken curry is unbelievably good. The bribe for this shot was to actually let them use the pool!

Our little soldier turned seven today. He’s such a kind little boy and has a heart of gold. Absolutely loves his dinosaurs and now even had a dino apron and chefs hat. In every way, he reminds me of myself as a child. Some days I watch him play and and it just takes me back 30 years.

Great Up Climbing party for Finley (who’s 7 on Tuesday) with his mates and big sis Alana. Big thanks to the girls who ran the session, they were great and also to Danni for organising the whole thing. The cake was delicious too!
