Family Day Out at Rare Breeds Farm
We had a great family day out at Rare Breeds Farm in Kent for Ilya’s 3rd Birthday celebration. Ilya is Imogen’s cousin and he is such a charming, gentle and fun little boy. Imogen was so excited to see him and they spent the day viewing the farm animals, enjoying a special Birthday party lunch, watching butterflies in the Butterfly Tunnel, playing in the playground and going for a ride in the tractor trailer seated on hay bales.
Imogen and Ilya adore one another and shared their delight of being on the farm. Holding hands they chattered and giggled as they ran around in the sunshine.

It was wonderful for Imogen to play with her cousin for an entire day!
A very friendly rabbit in the petting area. There were also guinea pigs and chickens.

We all enjoyed the amazing playground at the farm.

We had a super day at Rare Breeds Farm. A big thank you to Kristina and family for organising such a special day for everyone.
Autumn Clothing for Babies and Children
I love viewing the next season’s range of clothing. There’s something exciting about a change in temperature and the clothes that go with it.
This year with the amazing Summer we’re having (long may it last) I have to smile with all the Winter hats, gloves, wellies and woolly jumpers lining the shelves of clothing stores. I even found myself looking at Winter coats for Imogen yesterday, whilst she looked at me with a questioning glance wearing her Summer dress and sandals.

Afternoon Tea with Annabel Karmel
Last Saturday I was invited to attend the launch of Annabel Karmel’s new App Annabel’s Essential Guide to Feeding Your Baby & Toddler at the Apple iStore in Regent Street.
The event was hosted by TV and radio presenter Jenni Falconer. Annabel talked about being a mother, coping with fussy eaters and how she began writing recipe books. Her career takes her all over the world as she continues to educate and encourage millions of parents on how to create simple and healthy meals for baby, toddler and child.
Annabel gave a demo of her new App which includes 200 healthy recipe ideas, handy meal planners that you can personalise to suit your family, a shopping list feature and videos showing how to prepare food. This App ensures you’ll never be stuck for ideas at mealtimes. There’s a handy section on Tips and Advice covering everything from foods for babies and toddlers to allergies and batch cooking.
Since Imogen was a baby I’ve read the range of Annabel Karmel Books
I met a wonderful group of bloggers at this event and after the launch we all sauntered in the London sun to 5th View in Piccadilly to have afternoon tea with Annabel Karmel and her lovely team.
