Zach
What do you want to be when you grow up A physicist or an adventurer
What is your favourite famous person Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
What makes you laugh My friends, watching movies and jokes
What makes you angry When my sister breaks one of my favourite toys
Your favourite book “The Hobbit” by Tolkein
Your favourite films “Toothfairy”
The best holidays you ever had Chincoteague, Virginia, USA. I went two years ago, It’s got wild ponies and is situated on a beach. I spent my days swimming
A place that you would dream to visit Pompeii
Your favorite outfit My Gap Let’s Rock T-shirt
The next item you would be happy to get A Stampede Nerf Gun
If you had a magic wand, what would you do with it right now Stop over fishing of the oceans and encourage wildlife conservation
Rachel
Your favourite children’s brands Zara does wonderful baby and toddler clothes that are different and stylish. Otherwise it’s Gap and for a special occasion I buy an outfit from Caramel Baby&Child
Do you buy a lot online for your children ? I buy a lot of craft products on-line for the children from glue to glove puppets. Current favourite is Hobbycraft.co.uk
A website that inspires you Yarn porn…am I allowed to say that? I love knitting, sewing and all that goes with it. So to secretly indulge my passion I log onto Revelry for inspiration and Loop for beautiful yarns
The criteria you consider when you buy something for your children Will it last? With three children, I like clothes that can be handed down. Which reminds me, what’s up with jeans now a days? The knees always rip in Zach’s jeans within 3 weeks
Last item you added to your child’s wardrobe Trainers. Zach’s feet are now the same size as mine, which I find unnerving
Most precious item you bought for a child Robert “Mouseman” Thomson book ends, which I bought at the saleroom. Although it will probably be used to prop up the collection of Ipads rather than books
Best gift you gave for a child’s B-day A kite
Items that are hard to find I feel there is a high street conspiracy against me when it comes to purchasing children’s underwear. There is always a vast selection in a range of various styles and colours for every age group except for the age I’m looking for. It’s been going on for over eight years now, so I think my feelings are justified
Favourite pieces in Zach’s wardrobe A pork pie hat given to Zach by his American aunt. It makes Zach look rather rakish
The book on your bedside table “Black Diamond” by Catherine Bailey. A biography about the demise of the immensely wealthy, dysfunctional, aristocratic Fitzwilliam family. This really is a case of fact being stranger than fiction
An unforgettable place you’ve travelled to Botswana, Macatoo horse-back riding safari. Nothing beats galloping with giraffe or kudu, spotting a leopard or being serenaded each night by a chorus of Bell frogs. Magical!
The ideal place for a family summer holiday We love the British beach experience and head for the South Hams in Devon with bucket and spade in hand, and a vast array of clothes to cover all weather possibilities (much larger than any suitcase we would pack to go abroad). There is something incredibly beautiful about the shoreline, with fields going right to the edge of the cliffs. The children also love the range of activities from crabbing at the harbour to kayaking down the estuary. Great fun!
