Fireworks in slow motion!

We went to a firework display last night. Couldn’t resist taking a couple of photos and shooting a tiny bit of video!
I’ll be putting a few more examples on my stories if you want to take a look.

Helen, Izzy & toy unicorn enthralled by a deer at @ntknole
Lovely spot to visit and great to catch up with the deer...but wow was it cold! Winter has arrived.

I shared this on my stories a few days ago, but thought I should place it one the grid’ too.

That’s a personalised age-rating card for my blog made by @bbfc_ageratings
If you haven’t heard, the British Board of Film Classification has updated its age rating simples and age rating guidance after surveying 10,000 members of the public. One of the most significant changes is that Netflix is now using the age rating symbols.

There’s more on the blog if you’d like to know more. Do tell me though, do you Dadbloguk should have a PG rating???

A fringe benefit of fatherhood: You can watch TV shows like Dr Who and Star Trek and not only do so without judgement...but enjoy them.

Over the past year or so I have become both a Whovian and a Trekkie. It’s all because of the influence of my kids.
What TV shows do you enjoy as a parent you wouldn’t have watched during your single, child and (relatively) care-free days?

You can read more about my fave sci-fi TV shows on the blog (link in bio).

#AD As my kids get older, this is a sight I am regularly confronted with: Open bottles on nail varnish left lying around and various make-up items I can’t even identify left scattered around the bathroom.

Cleaning up after my family has changed over the years. It used to be about wiping down the changing station and hoovering up breadcrumbs from the floor. Now it’s all about cleaning up make up or cleaning up carpets where someone’s embarked on an arts and crafts project with indelible marker.

Can you relate to this? How has cleaning in your house changed as your family has grown older?
Check out my latest post on the @microban Cleaner Home blog to see how things have changed for me and how I clean up make-up and other stains my kids leave in their wake.

I’ve been getting out more with my camera just recently. Here’s another snap I took during half term when I paid the glorious @hever_castle a visit with Helen and Izzy. As you can see, the sun was shining. That hasn’t happened much in the UK just recently!
Hope you enjoy the colours and reflections in this pic.
