About Penny

Hello – I’m Penny, long term blogger, crochet addict, radio lover, tea drinker, cake eater, runner, WI member, school governor, podcaster and Ladybird book collector. I’m also mum to Little Miss C (8) and Master C (6), step-mum to L (14) and wife to Bonn (40-something!). As if that wasn’t enough, Little Miss D (also known as Tube Baby) joined the family in November 2018!

For nearly ten years I blogger over at Being Mrs C, but when I ceased to be Mrs C it seemed right to find a new online home. I can be found here writing about B and my new life in Bedfordshire, and all the other things that make me smile. You might also find me online in these places:

Penny Reads – talking about books, and in particular vintage finds and Ladybird books

Penny Travels – writing about our travels, both as a couple and as a family. This is also where you’ll find all the latest news on our Tube Baby Challenge.

Penny Plays – where Bonn and I will be reviewing toys (with the kids help!) and finding some retro games in charity shops

In addition to all these Bonn and I also have a podcast HandI Pod where we will be talking about all kinds of Hobbies and Interests. Everything from crochet and the WI, through to random museums, model trains and beer festivals.
