The other day I thought “I’ve had enough of groundhog day and this freezing cold weather, I need some beach action” and so packed myself and T-Rex off to my hometown of Bournemouth.

If you haven’t managed to get to see this yet, you should – it’s amazing. There is still a week left to visit the debuting Magical Lantern Festival at Chiswick House in London.

Finally! I can bend over to clean up my darling T-Rex’s crap off the floor and not give some poor unsuspecting soul an eyeful of my behind whilst doing so! Mom Jeans are back and ladies I’m telling you – it’s soooo comfy. No longer do we have to pretend we are 17 year olds in our skinny jeans but instead be allowed to show off our curves and
I am desperate to take T-Rex skiing – goodness knows why, he’ll probably be off piste before I know it.
