Took the boy to a family concert with a screening of The Snowman today. The first time he's ever heard a live orchestra 🎶. Thanks @ntu_music for a Christmassy afternoon ☃️ . #thesnowman #nutpotw #ourweekendhappy

Light-up Christmas jumpers for the win 🎄🦌 . #christmasjumperday #ididntforget

Throwing some shapes @wigglegigglemusic. . . This class, followed by soft play, always wears her out. Made the most of her two hour nap this afternoon, taking a break with the boy to watch Raymond Briggs's Father Christmas with some chocolate 🎅🍫. I blooming loved that animation when I was young. . #dancingqueen #slowdownindecember #noworktoday

I remember doing a project on Wollaton Hall for my GCSE History many years ago, and the little details have always stayed with me. . Like this grand, but fake, hammerbeam roof in the Great Hall, with the straining weight of the unique Prospect Room above. The Ancaster stone, chosen for it's golden appearance and paid for in coal. And the facade overlooking the lake, plainer than all the others and completed years down the line when the money had run out. . . I think these insights are part of the reason I love visiting so much, time after time. . #wollatonhall #renaissancearchitecture #nottinghampost #localhistory

Solo winter walk on my afternoon off. This is when working Saturdays pays off. . . #slowdownindecember #wintersun #winterwalks #treescapes

So proud of this one who sang his heart out in his first ever Christmas play and rocked a cross face in his starring role in the "angry song" 😡. Doesn't sound very festive I know, but it did mean he didn't need a costume, so a win as far as I was concerned! . . #christmasplay #christmasmemories #staroftheshow
