New Royal Baby Photo released – and Kate is wearing Seraphine.
At the stroke of midnight on the 20th August, a couple of gorgeous, much anticipated photographs were released to the public. Featuring a lovely young couple and their beautiful baby son, this could be any normal, proud family photograph. Except that this wasn’t any normal couple, and this certainly wasn’t any baby. The photograph in question of course, features the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge cradling the sleeping Prince George. Lupo the dog also has a starring role, and the celebrity photographer was non other than proud grandad Michael Middleton. It is a really lovely, natural family shot that shows how happy and proud the couple are and is sure…

Autumn television – All about Downton again.
I noticed it the other night when I was drawing the curtains before 9pm. It may still be August but the nights are already beginning to close in. And certain television events that remind us that Autumn is literally peering around the corner are almost upon us. Which is why now is a perfect time to check out the new BT broadband packages that are available, offering optimum opportunities for on-demand and catch-up TV, along with the best in high definition. Because, believe me, you are going to want the very best in viewing experiences for the Autumn programme. So, what have I got in my viewing schedule for the…

Westfield Merry Hill Centre consulted members of their parent group, Mummy Mornings, and found that some parents spend as much as a staggering £1000 over the period of the six weeks holiday. With this in mind, the centre created a programme of free or cheap events, and I…

Beyonce sets the V festival alight
She has been the talk of Twitter all this week thanks to a rather cute pixie haircut. Was it a wig? Had she really got rid of the mane like extensions? Well, yesterday the truth was revealed in all its glory when the incomparable Beyonce took to the stage at the V Festival in Chelmsford, Essex. She was, of course, brilliant, and, for fashion lovers, she also proved a visual treat, with a series of costume changes throughout her show. The hairstyle was no longer a pixie cut (which reminded me of when she played Etta James in the film Cadillac Records), instead it turned out to be a rather…

Back to School with BHS
With the final bank holiday of the year now in sight, and the summer almost over, all the thoughts of parents everywhere turn to getting the little ones (and bigger ones come to think of it) back to school. This means turning to the subject of school uniform. There is a lot of choice these days when it comes to buying school uniform, with almost all supermarkets now stocking very cheap items. But, I think that we need to look closely at quality when it comes to choosing the uniform, and that is why I would overwhelmingly choose BHS when shopping for Joe, both now, and in future. BHS have…
