Looe Shark Angling Festival

Following on from a very successful May Fayre last weekend here in Looe where everyone enjoyed a day of music and dancing and the weather held nice for the day, Looe is to host the Shark Angling Club of Great Britain's Shark Angling Festival on the weekend of Saturday May 19th and Sunday May 20th.

This is another very popular event in Looe with participants coming from all the over the UK and around the world for the chance to do battle with what could be a fish of a lifetime with Looe also being the Headquarters of the Shark Angling Club.

Its something I would love to take part in and maybe one year I will but for now I wish them fair winds and calm seas. 

Mr Salad Face is a Winner at Dinner

Getting a preschooler to eat healthy food can be tricky. As a busy mum making different meals is not going to happen so I find ways of making what we're eating into something my little one will enjoy too.

Above is a picture of one of the salad faces I've made for Blake. Whenever we have salad if I turn his into some sort of face suddenly it gets eaten. Ultimately it's more fun to say eat your eyes instead of eat your cucumber. It doesn't just end with salad faces though, you can use vegetables or fruit.
