I never did this with Freddie so early. This time, it is different. This time, if this might be all I get of this baby, I want to record every step of the way. Even though we’re already 13 weeks along. 13 weeks. 6 or so scans. Some ups and downs already, with a mysteriously […]

It's the thought that counts.
Flowers. The colour, the scent, the burst of outside that can bring a dull mood and a dull day instantly to life. It doesn’t matter whether I buy them for myself, or the come as a gift, but they always make me feel better. Whether they come from a posh florists in London or the […]
In a jam. Or in some jam. There was jam, anyway.
The country is falling apart. I’m having the most stressful week since last April. I nearly said of my life. Jeez. Anyway, you can tell something is seriously amiss with the world, because I made jam. This is quite possibly the most domestic thing I have done in about 10 years and not only that, […]

An Amazing Maize Maze at Millets Farm
Yesterday I took 3 of our girls on my first ever bloggy PR day to see the wonders of the Maize Maze at Millets Farm in Oxfordshire. You might wonder how much fun you can have in a field that looks like this? The answer is, really an awful lot! We started our day by […]
Taking it to extremes.
After rather pathetically realising my ‘stay at home’ status had become a little bit too literal in my last post, we’ve been out every day this week. Which has been some achievement actually.

If you want to know what's been going on…
I can offer you it in comic book form 🙂 Some of this deserves more detail, but it will have to wait. I could claim shatter-dom but actually I’ve converted to being a hooker and I want to get back to work 😉 Josie has done lots of drawing. We had a friend round and […]
Dear So and So… the Annoying Research edition.
Be gentle with me. This is my first attempt at Dear So and So. I need to get some things off my chest. And yes, I know most of my irritation probably stems from crappy BBC reporting. Humour me. Working Mothers do no Harm to Children. Do you know how much it irritates me to […]
All about Fran
When MuddlePuddle and then PoP started, it was really mostly about Fran. She has always been the one to do things first and rightly or wrongly, I suppose I tended to focus on her. Things have gone on at her pace, often aimed for her interests and needs with everyone tagging along. But all that […]
