Sid the Kitten

6 Oct Filed under Family Photos. No comments.

New family member joined the household.   Sid Haygarth (named after Six Dinner Sid) is just over 8 weeks old, a fluffball, bossing the dog around, and very playful and affectionate.  He’s sent two little girls into squeaky cutesy voices so much so that my … Read More →

Finish Line

As one door closes… another one opens

18 Sep Filed under Blog, Family Photos, Sport. 5 Comments.

“My” day of cyclocross: Rode well, steady start, faded a bit, kicked into a good rhythm after ten mins, then after 40 mins my bike was trashed and the race was over.  It doesn’t sound too good does it. Not even with my rose coloured … Read More →

My little Lily turned nine today – stunningly quickly … as these things go … Elsie jumped in to Lily’s bed extra early and we opened a couple of pressies and cards – but on her return to School Day we decided to leave the … Read More →

Cala Galdana - Haygarths on Hols

A holiday is a holiday is a holiday. This was just a great opportunity to get away from work, home, routine, and all that stuff and have a lovely time together.  It’s very straightforward.  For that reason alone it was simply superb.

Mum’s 70th birthday

10 Jul Filed under Blog, Family Photos. 1 Comment.

My mum reached a very respectable 3 score and ten yesterday and we went up to Kirkby Lonsdale today to enjoy some lovely weather, cakes, food, and company. It seemed very strange but incredibly rewarding to meet a few people from mum’s life that I … Read More →

3 Jun Filed under Family Photos, Featured Articles. No comments.

Fantastic trip with Katie and the girls to Formby Sand Dunes / Red Squirrel woodland on Monday – it was chucking it down all morning and we took the risk… it paid off and cleared up minutes after we got there. Brilliant, very non-Northern feeling … Read More →

Elsie – Three as a bird

3 Jun Filed under Blog, Family Photos, Featured Articles. No comments.

They all grow up fast, don’t they. Elsie’s third birthday last week seemed to mark a bit more ‘moving on’ in the household and confirmed any suspicion that time goes by ridiculously fast in life. It fell on a ‘normal’ work day for Katie, a … Read More →

A lesson in bike riding

2 May Filed under Blog, Family Photos, Featured Articles, Video. 2 Comments.

… from a 2 year old. Something familiar in my youngest, Elsie. A second-born, she’s grown up watching older sister doing everything she can’t do, so when she finally was allowed to ride a ‘pedal’ bike last Thursday, she went about it so vigorously and … Read More →

Great family time in terrific unseasonable weather. We went to see Rach & Jon @ Ravenstonedale, then stay with Phil & Anne and family in Arkholme, then onto Ingleton for a stay with Jean & Bill. Lovely memorable times, lots of great food, and a … Read More →
