Happy Monday! It’s a fresh new week, I hope you had a lovely weekend dodging the April showers, although saying that we did have a lovely day of sun yesterday finally! You know you’re getting old when that makes you excited for putting the washing out on the line, and...

THE KIDS ARE BACK AT SCHOOL ………………insert your own joyous words of happiness here! I dearly love my children, but 2 weeks is pretty intense.  I find the juggle the hardest.  I am super vocal about the huge pressure of trying to be super mum, super children’s...

Hi there. Philip Pearson-Batt here bringing you the latest lowdown on (employment) law. Before I get my legal hat on, I’d like to set the record straight: when I was on annual leave the other week, I wasn’t in Italy. Don’t worry – Italy isn’t happening until June so...

Welcome back! We hope you had a lovely Easter which involved lots of chocolate. In our house we did the obligatory egg hunt on Sunday morning which will no doubt mean I’m finding eggs all over the place for weeks to come. And in other news, I was a bridesmaid on...

Well hello there, Force of Nature (Emma) here…..and who can believe we are almost at the end of another half term (a big high 5 for all those school child parents who have successfully made it through another half term of demands…this time we have had children running...

For those of you who follow our weekly blogs, you’ll know that Paul & I have a trip to Italy coming up (honestly, sometimes I feel like I’m writing a travel blog! Just call me Judith Chalmers). Unfortunately, our budget airline – let’s say it rhymes with Cryin’...

Hello all, welcome back to this week’s blog! First of all, we hope you had a lovely Mother’s Day on Sunday, whatever that looks like for you. We were supposed to be going for a walk but the rain meant we just ended up at a café for coffee and cake so not all bad! I’ve...

Meow, woof, squeak, neigh stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive… Well hiiiiideeeeeeehiiiiiii Precepters – how are we all?  I first must start with a confession – I haven’t spoken to you all in a while – why?  Because I missed my last blog – naughty me!!  No excuses, I was just...

It’s me. Hi. I’m the lawyer it’s me. Philip Pearson-Batt (clearly counting the days down to seeing Taylor Swift in August). For those of you who have been living under a rock, my husband & I, returned from a month in New Zealand at the end of last year. The...

Welcome back to our weekly blog! We’ve just come out of February half term here, and I actually escaped the kids and husband with a trip to Fuerteventura with my friend, she’s a teacher so when she asked if we could go away together my response was yes of course, but...

Why hello there. It’s me, Philip Pearson-Batt, here with all things Precept updates in this week’s weekly blog. It’s winter, so I haven’t really been up to much exciting recently. I don’t know about you but I’m a little bit ready for Spring. There are signs of it...

We hope you are well rested after the weekend, we certainly earned our rest after a very busy Friday at the YMCA preparing a lunch for around 100 people, see how we got on here (including my night before prep, complete with swimming goggles)!                        ...

Precept decided to have a night out on the town the other day! Yes, that is right – we went out, OUT!!!!  You may have seen from our recent post that we hoofed it over to Newark to attend an exclusive dining experience that is often not found outside of Torquay. The...
