Meeting Sita Brahmachari : Author in Residence, Forest Holidays : Sherwood Forest
I am exhausted but very happy this evening, after a fantastic day at Sherwood Forest, courtesy of Forest Holidays. We met the extremely talented and beautiful author Sita Brahmachari.
Sita Brahmachari is the author of Artichoke Hearts, for which she won the Waterstones Childrens Book Prize 2011, and Jasmine Skies which was published in March 2012.
What an inspiration this lady is. I am going to blog in more detail about our day but wanted to share with you the fruits of our labour in the forest.
As part of the creative writing exercise we passed around the holey stone.
The holey stone is Nana Josie’s favourite symbol in ’Artichoke Hearts’

Disney Live Mickeys Magic Show : Review
Yesterday afternoon, we attended Mickey’s Magic Show, at Capital FM arena. We have attended Disney On Ice shows at the Arena and have always been impressed, so we were intrigued to see this show. We had also been invited as guests of Disney, which I must admit I was secretly really excited by. My friends, family and readers of the The Ana Mum Diary blog will know how much we LOVE Disney.
We arrived in good time, Miss A dashed out of school, even got changed in the back of the car as we didn’t want to miss a moment!
Miss N aged 9 and Miss A aged 3 Continue Reading
