Premier League
Premier League again! Maddie’s first Premier League game as a Watford fan was against Arsenal and after a promising start to the season we had high hopes going into the game. We also had front row seats which made for interesting viewing, usually sit much higher up. Watford looked comfortable in the first half and with…

Surfs Up
It’s becoming a challenge to come up with a novel idea for birthday parties as most of the obvious ones have been done but I think Lish won the prize this year for her indoor surfing party (not least because I also got to have a go!) The flowrider is an indoor surfing facility in Bedford,…

Not much sign of any X-Factor…
…but we did have good seats at Wembley arena to see all the top ten from last years show, most of whose names have long since passed from memory even in the short time since the series finished. Perhaps I am a little cynical and Maddie for one seemed to really enjoy it. I did…

England at Wembley
Maddie has been to a number of football matches, mostly at Vicarage Road although we did go to the play off final at Wembley last year. Well this time it was England vs Denmark so in one sense Maddie couldn’t lose being half Danish but she was definitely there for England. Sneaking into the family…

Maddie at the Shard
We had a lovely short break in London as a family just before Christmas, might seem a bit weird when it’s only 20 mins on the train from where we live but it was really good fun. We stayed in this lovely boutique hotel called the Grazing Goat near Selfridges. Although it was only a…

Little Flower Girl
We were attending our friends wedding (although I was also there in a professional capacity) and Maddie was an unofficial flower girl. She had her hair and make up done by the make up girl and looker really pretty. She hadn’t been to a wedding since ours! Maddie made friends with the brides niece Zara…

Legoland
So having visited Legoland in Denmark previously and in Windsor last year finally this year Maddie was old enough (6) to earn her Lego driving licence. It was also the day that we discovered the value of Q-bots which enable you to jump the queues for all the rides, not cheap but so worth it!…

And, and, and…
Today we all actually managed to sit down for lunch as a family. Maddie then proceeded to have the worst case of verbal diarrhoea I have ever seen. Without pausing for breath (or to eat – not that she ever eats much anyway) she kept talking solidly for about 20 mins. It started off as…

Fireworks
Another Maddie & Daddy outing to the fireworks at St Albans. (Not really Mette’s thing!) Managed to get a spot right at the front by the lake which gave us a great uninterrupted view of the fireworks. I would have taken more pictures but even though the lake is only about a foot deep Maddie…

Meeting the stars
So today Maddie met her other hero Justin Bieber amongst other famous celebrities and royals. Well not exactly met, today we had another Maddie and Daddy day out in London visiting Madam Tussaurds! It was actually quite impressive, full of people having their photos taken with the likes of Usain Bolt, Jessica Ennis (you’d never…
