Rule, Bavaria!

Posted on May 27, 2010 by Met Mum

The guy next to me on seat 11B kept on pushing my elbow off the armrest. Well, at least he tried. I was tempted to ask him if he knew how lucky he was. If it weren’t for my very … Continue reading →

Slummy mummy and the well-dressed baby

A new breed of yummy daddies

Posted on July 5, 2009 by Met Mum

Queuing at one of the few tills that hasn’t been turned into a ‘self-checkout’, I dare to look up and count annoyed co-shopper’s looks against encouraging fellow mummy-smiles.
