Once upon a time, a maiden in distress (stop laughing at the back there) stopped at a filling station, in desperate need of assistance. She had accidentally driven too far with too little fodder and had discovered, to her horror, that she had not brought her sack of everlasting gold with her 🙁 Being an […]

Sparkles and knickers and make up, oh my!
I’m laughing as I write this, because I’ve been offered the ‘health and beauty’ option in this Paypal salary for a year competition. You’d have to know me in real life to know quite how ridiculous this is, as I’m not a make up person, not a perfume person (it makes my skin smell funny, […]
I'd mulch if only I knew how.
This Summer the girls and I dabbled with gardening again. We’d planned to anyway, I had thought it would be a good way to get us all outside in a season I expected to spend with a smallish baby and probably a lack of inclination for going very far away. The way our house is […]
Remembering Remembrance Day
Zoe very kindly spent the morning with my children so I could go to work as we had some things that needed both of us to do. Between us we’d come up with a couple of crafts to do that would keep on the theme and inspire them, we hoped, to think about the day […]
Public Announcement and a Giveaway :)
I wouldn’t normally do this on here but many of my blog readers have been massive supporters of our shops (indeed without our friends, they would never have got off the ground) and I need some help with something. I’ve no idea if this will work but I’m doing it here, partly because I know […]
On being six and grief struck
I want to talk about Josie. I want to write so much about her but the things that I have to say make me want to weep and stick in my throat and tie my fingers. She’s six now. Last week, on Bonfire Night, we had presents and a party with a couple of local […]
Trying to finish off last weeks list.
I’m not going to make it entirely, as Fran has promised a guest blog for part of it, but she’s hugely caught up in both her NaNo and now some terribly complicated spreadsheet she is designing (for a 12 year old anyway) so that might take a while. It’s too long ago to blog Halloween […]

Writing Workshop: The Book of Lost Things
It’s easy. This blog is a book of lost things. I’ve written about the loss of my mythically perfectly formed first child at the moment she was born and brought challenges to overcome and discovering that in fact, life is not always perfect and children are not always perfect and sometimes, you have to make […]
Age Shall Not Weary Them
Remembrance Day is always important. It is always a good thing to stand and think of the people who are not here and good to think of what we have because of them. The world is full of remembered heroes and unsung heroes and people who have laid down their life for one person or […]
