Travelling to the 12 corners of the UK in a Tuk Tuk for Healing Little Hearts

16/02/201705/04/2017
Steve and his Tuk Tuk at RAF Scampton

Our family challenge last year was to travel from Land’s End to John O’Groats on public transport. Last month, we attended the Land’s End-John O’Groats Association awards dinner in Torquay where we were presented with our certificates and Sophie won the Jack Adams/Richard Elloway trophy for being the youngest person to do the journey in… Read More

LEJOG Day 4 – We did it!

19/08/201619/08/2016

Despite being given directions at the hotel to the bus stop we still managed to completely miss it and had to ask someone else. It turned out we’d walked straight past it – how both hubby and I had managed to miss the bus shelter and the big yellow BUS STOP on the road when… Read More

LEJOG Day 3 – Perth to Thurso

17/08/2016

My hopes of a lie-in were dashed thanks to hubby forgetting to turn his alarm off from the previous day – and Jessica waking up shortly after it went off. At least I got to take advantage of having some decent wifi signal and catch up on social media and blogging before Sophie also woke… Read More

LEJOG Day 2 – Penzance to Perth

17/08/201616/08/2016

I had hoped for a reasonable night’s sleep ahead of getting the 6.28am train from Penzance but I ended up co-sleeping with Sophie whose dreams clearly featured her as a Riverdancing octopus if the amount of fidgeting was anything to go by. Thankfully my sense of adventure overrode my usual morning grumpiness and although it… Read More

LEJOG Day 1 – Getting to the start

16/08/201616/08/2016

“We’re going on a ‘venture!” Sophie kept saying as we rushed around getting everything ready to set off towards Land’s End – the starting point for our LEJOG challenge. Unfortunately in the rush, neither hubby nor I noticed that Jessica hadn’t picked up Kerry, her favourite dolly, and it was only when we arrived at… Read More

Our Land’s End to John O’Groats Challenge

03/08/201601/02/2017

Like the gold postbox challenge, it all started with a throwaway comment. “Shall we keep going until we get to John O’Groats?” hubby said jokingly as we headed towards Birmingham for a weekend stop before going to Butlins. “No, it would take hours!” I replied – which prompted us to look up just how long… Read More

The #NoComplaints challenge – can you go a day without complaints, criticism or negative thinking?

27/01/201626/01/2016

I was recently inspired by Cuddle Fairy to take part in the #NoComplaints challenge – trying to go a whole day without complaints, criticism or negative thinking. Whilst I try to be quite a positive person, I know that I can also get quickly sucked into a spiral of negativity (especially when tired) and this… Read More

I'm Louise, mummy of three - Jessica, forever six, who was born with half a heart and lives on in mine; and heart-healthy Sophie (born 2013) and Thomas (born 2018). I blog about living with grief after child loss, crafts, days out and the little moments of family life.
