Target Achieved

July 28, 2010 by

We’ve made it to £1000 on our JustGiving page in memory of Freddie. That was my first target. Thank you to everyone, friend, family, reader and customer who has contributed to this and also to the suppliers who donated items to go direct to the hospital, a batch of which went off this week and […]

Music, movement & painting in circles

July 26, 2010 by

Zoe and i commenced “the plan” today, working our way around Fran, Skye and Amelie going to a workshop with Tim Noble at their dance school. While they were out, we got the others working with a fairly intensive day looking at the art of Kandinsky with the help of a rather fab book from […]

It comes to something when housework is the only answer

July 24, 2010 by

I had not the faintest idea how to keep myself in a manageable condition today; it has been really tough. I therefore decided to tidy. *faint smile* The dining room has been melting under crud for a while, so I decided to tackle it. It has too many places for stuff to get piled and […]

The Weekly Round Up.

July 24, 2010 by

Last Friday we went off to Wicksteed Park for the day. Not been for ages and the girls all really enjoyed themselves, mingling with friends and going on rides with them and with Daddy. I was happy just to mooch and watch them enjoy their half price wristbands; I’m not a fan of rides and […]

Goodness

July 24, 2010 by

I’ve just realised that for the last two Fridays I haven’t counted how many weeks it is since Freddie was born. For at least the last Tuesday, I haven’t counted how many weeks it is since he died. I guess that is progress of sorts. I’m not going to count. I think 2nds and 13ths […]

All backwards

July 22, 2010 by

I hate that long after I have forgotten how it was to feel pregnant with him, I am left with the loss of him. I hate that the memories are so few, gathered under such immense pressure, that I can barely hold them together. They are barely worth having. I hate that I cannot remember […]

The beginning of the end

July 20, 2010 by

In honour of many things, not least some births and my period, which signifies the end of all hope of another baby before Freddie’s first birthday, I have typed up his birth story. Be gentle with it.

Catch up again.

July 19, 2010 by

Lovely weekend away at the Festival of History with friends, camping for 2 nights at Wicksteed Park. Will blog it better shortly when I can find my proper camera cable, there were some ups and downs and some really great day out moments too. Just wanted to say thank you to all my incredibly lovely […]

Stand down

July 18, 2010 by

We’ve kept the last few months incredibly busy for the girls, hoping to waft them past as much of the rawness of early grief by just keeping them busy. We’ve done musicals, grading days, gym competitions, holidays, friends, dancing shows, music exams and this weekend more friends, the Festival of History and a ballet exam. […]

Gone in a Flash

July 12, 2010 by

I took these photos on Max’s birthday. I just liked the discarded bit of paper and all the colours. Afterwards, when I saw the way the two had come out, I had a wry smile. Big Birth Wishes. Gone in a flash. I forgot to wish for a bring home baby. Must get round to […]
