WELCOME!

Hi! I’m Catherine. I’m a 40 something mum of 2 from North Norfolk. I’d like to think I’m Norfolk’s answer to Martha Stewart, but in reality I’m more a cross between Ma Larkin and Kat Slater.

BANK HOLIDAY - We had our first seaside paddle of the year yesterday (well, the kids did - the sea was too cold for me!) and a lovely stroll around Cromer. We also popped into @hattersteashop and had the best sausage roll known to man (and if you know how much I love a sausage roll you'll know that I don't say that lightly 😏). How's your Bank Holiday weekend been so far? #igersnorfolk #NorthNorfolk #bankholidayweekend #ohidoliketobebesidetheseaside #Cromer #seasidetowns #colourfulbuildings #VisitNorfolk
AD - Gifted. Our kids are like chalk and cheese when it comes to food. Out of the two of them our daughter is the family fusspot. Our son is always happy to try new foods and more often than not he says he likes it or would be willing to try it again. . Our daughter though… she would never try new foods out. If it wasn’t a big chunk of meat, or if it wasn’t beige in colour then the chances were high that she would not eat it. It is only in the last year that we have been able to persuade her to eat a tomato, or even nibble on broccoli. To say that there have been meal times where I have wanted to pull my hair out would be an understatement. . So, when @amummytoo reached out a few weeks ago to see if I would like to review her new book – Get Your Kids to Eat Anything - I immediately said: “yes, please!” . To find out what I, and the family fusspot, thought of the book, head over to the blog to have a read.

I went 'Out Out' yesterday. For drinks and dinner with Rob to celebrate my birthday. We went to The Cosy Club, which recently opened in Norwich - and it was nice, but it was also heaving, so we only stayed for a couple of drinks. ⁣ ⁣ We then headed to @chamberscocktailcompany where I had the best cocktail that I've ever tried before. It's called Sour Grapes and it was so blummin' good that I had to have a second one. And a third... and maybe a fourth too...⁣ ⁣ We left Chambers to go for dinner and decided to go via Elm Hill. I might be 43 but I still haven't learned that walking up the cobbled street of Elm Hill when you are pretty tipsy isn't the best idea. But I did get to take this photo, so it was worth it. ⁣ ⁣ #IgersNorwich⁣ #IgersNorfolk⁣ #NorfolkBloggers⁣ #AFineCity⁣ #ElmHill⁣ #CobbledStreets⁣ #NorwichLanes⁣ #NorwichAtNight
#AD - Flashback to this time last year. The cars in the first photo were pretty much the last ones we saw for the next three days. It was our first proper experience of being snowed in, and the kids were over the moon at school being closed. I'm a bit of a weather geek so was super prepared for the Beast from the East and I actually really enjoyed that week, even though it was, in all actuality, a total ballache for so many people. But, that was the only part of last winter that I really enjoyed. The rest of the time I felt so sluggish and just generally a bit .. bleurgh. I don't know about you but I find that once the grey and windy part of autumn sets in all I want to do is curl up indoors and eat stodgy comfort food. And it seems that I'm not alone in feeling that way, either. In a survey recently conducted by @eonenergyuk three quarters of participants said they felt far more sluggish over winter. I've written more about E.ON's survey, and their top tips for giving ourselves an #EnergyRefresh on the blog. Head on over to have a read, and you could be in with a chance to #Win £150 of Abel & Cole vouchers.

#AD - Whizzing into the weekend like... . We had a total blast at @roarr_dinosauradventure yesterday. It was non stop climbing, clambering, zipping, sliding and whizzing and we were all exhausted by the time we got home. This half-term is #FantasyFebruary at Roarr. There are fun daily workshops being hosted by the Fairyland Trust, and all children turning up dressed as their favourite fantasy character will receive 50% off the standard entry fee - such a great offer! #letthekidsplay #FamilyFun #igersnorfolk #norfolkbloggers #familydaysout
Make a wish! . Do you make wishes when you blow a Dandelion Clock? I do. . I think if I were to make a wish right now it would be for the sun to come out to play like it did earlier this week. I am done with this rainy, windy weather. Give me Spring sunshine, and give it to me now. . What would you wish for? #Spring2019 #NorfolkBloggers #SpringIsInTheAir #SpringFlowers #NatureCloseup #FloraAndFauna #OnePerfectThing #MakeAWish #LifeCloseUp #LifeThroughALens #garden_explorers ------------
