Being a Mummy to twins is hard work at the best of times and at the worst of times it can be exhausting. I have found myself close to tears on occasion and in need of a pick me up. This week I have made two wonderful discoveries just when I needed them most. A secret garden and my very own Fairy Hobfather!
Charing’s Secret Garden
I have lived in Charing for over 2 years, I have been roaming it with my double buggy for over 6 months, and yet I have never before visited the secret hidden walkway through the alderbed meadow. I found it completely by accident and it totally made my day. I have found a beautiful, peaceful place where I can walk with Esther and William enjoying the natural sights and smells of bluebells, buttercups, snowdrops and garlic. There are sparkling streams and winding paths over rickety bridges through the towering trees. It was a wonderful way to waste half an hour. I was also able to secretly practise my photography as we had the whole place to ourselves. Such a wonderful surprise and a place we will visit when we are searching for peace or space to think. Our very own secret garden, the Charing Alderbed Meadow.
The Fairy Hobfather
After a weary week of wisdom tooth woe I was cheered up by an email from the friendly Fairy Hobfather. Otherwise known as Ian Goodall this Master of Appliances makes it his business to keep a careful eye on Mummy Bloggers and reward them for no reason at all. What a lovely man and such a very kind thing to do. My email was waiting in my inbox when I returned from a few days in Cornwall. During our stay away the babies had been swimming for the very first time and they loved it. They particularly enjoyed their turn in their shared swimming float. The Fairy Hobfather is sending me £15 of Amazon vouchers which will be just enough to buy a second swim float so that both twins can enjoy this favoured treat at the same time. Thanks to The Fairy Hobfather!
You too could be visited by the Fairy from Applicances Online and be the receiver of a gift to make you smile. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post to be in with a chance of your very own visit from The Fairy Hobfather.
Here is a very blurry picture of William happy in his float!
Hoorah for secret gardens, and even more of a hoorah for Ian!
Gorgeous pics! Do you think the lovely Ian would come to Copenhagen? One of the rings on my hob has gone out and won’t come back! Cornwall sounded like a lovely break (apart from the wisdom tooth!)… Emma 🙂
Who could refuse a trip to Copenhagen to help a damsel in distress???
Beautiful pictures – am very envious of your secret garden!!! And your photography skills, it has to be said.
And hoorah for Ian indeed – I had my very own visit a little while ago and was likewise treated, lovely man that he is! xX
That garden does look beautiful. We have a nature reserve just down the road that’s similar.
William still looks cute, even though he’s blurry lol x
