The longest family task. Is just getting ready to leave the house. Guaranteed I will forget something.

“Connie take your feet out of her hair and eat your dinner”

What’s the funniest thing your children have ever said/done?

The funniest thing Connie does is climb and hide in ever possible small space. Once found her with both feet down the toilet, paddling.

Mini moan - what really gets your goat?

Things that get my goat. Jealousy, ignorance and bad manners.

What’s your favourite family day out?

A day at the seaside.

What hobbies/pastimes do you enjoy as a family and separately?

Peter is a rugby coach at The University of Leeds so we spend a lot of family time watching rugby. As a family we enjoy taking Connie to Equine Therapy on a Saturday morning. The happiness and emotion she displays is out of this world.
