A few weeks ago I received a parcel in the post that put quite a childish grin on my face, it was a box of loom bands and the instructions to make my very own loom band picture of a freddo the frog. This summer Cadbury’s world in Bournville, Birmingham unveiled a giant freddo the Continue reading →
Category Archives: Old Stuff
Yesterday I attended the Tots 100 blog conference Blogcamp. Happily for me it was held very close to home in Birmingham City centre. Over the last few years JR and TP have been getting more and more interested in the Marvel and DC comic book heroes, so whilst in Birmingham I decided a visit to a comic book shop might be in order. This shop is where me and Mr M&TTT spent quite a few hours and pounds when we first started dating way back in college. Nostalgia and Comics, if you’re ever in Birmingham it’s well worth finding and having a look around whether you are into comics or not.

W is for alex Winters
Most regular readers know that here at Tiny 3 towers we are big fans of the children’s channel Cbeebies. In particular I myself have a bit of a soft spot for a certain Cbeebies presenter Mr Alex Winters. Over the last 2 years we have been lucky enough to be able to meet him on Continue reading →
V is for valiant effort
A few weeks ago at the local boat festival, TP had the chance to climb an Army Cadet climbing wall. It was very tall and very difficult, but TP wanted to give it a try non the less. To say he struggled would be an understatement but he persisted and gave it all he had Continue reading →
u is for Unexpected Hospital Stay
Tuesday is usually the night I have set aside to write up my Alphabet Photo Project post. This week was no exception although I was really struggling with the letter U. At teatime TP suddenly started screaming with pain in his boy area, so having asked the usual have you fell/been kicked/bumped questions I phoned Continue reading →
TP has started nursery!
So a month ago my baby boy put on a shirt, tie, little grey shorts, and school shoes for the very 1st time and went to nursery ~ I may have cried. He looked so tiny in his uniform walking up the road carrying his school backpack that looked as though it was twice the Continue reading →

Black and White photo project – Eye
When TP started nursery a few weeks ago we had a book called ‘All about me’ that we had to fill in. One of the pages asked about hair and eye colour and asked for pictures or photographs to be attached now I’m not much of a drawer so decided to use this opportunity to Continue reading →
Black and white photo project – Birmingham Central Library
A few weeks ago I attended a walking tour of Birmingham City Centre, although I’m not really a fan of modern architecture, preferring older building with character, The Birmingham Central Library really caught my eye. I really thought that the contrast between old and new made for a lovely scene. I’m linking this to Podcasts Continue reading →
T is for Tragedy – The Alphabet Photo Project
I will always remember where I was when I heard the news 13 years ago that a passenger plane had hit the North Tower of the World Trade Centre in New York, then I watched the TV in horror as the South Tower was hit. I’m sure we all know the horror that unfurled that day Continue reading →
R is for Race car – Alphabet photo project

Settling into year 1
So as we’re now at the end of september I thought now would be a great time to write about how we’re settling back into the school routine, and about how JR is settling into life in year 1. As a parent the thought of my child going into year 1 was really daunting Reception Continue reading →
S is for Snow Fun
It feels like forever now since we’ve had a really good snowfall, the last time we had a lot of snow JR and TP had a lot of fun sledging down the embankment in front of our flat window. The thing is we had nowhere to store a sledge so instead we used an old Continue reading →
Birmingham – a walking photography course
On Sunday thanks to Goodman’s business park’s I had the chance to have a crash course in architectural photography. Over the last year or so I have been trying to improve my photography, and recently have started shooting most of my photographs in manual mode without really knowing what I was doing other than trial and error Continue reading →
