I haven’t said a great deal about it, but I started running a couple of months ago. It was a little mortifying at first, as I’m a good old weight & very unfit and lumbering around in a red faced, boob bumping manner was not entirely something to brag about. To be honest, I really […]

Right where I am: 1 year, 2 months.
Right at the beginning, I promised myself I would not stray down the path of marking moments and counting days. Not again. Not for Freddie. I wanted him to be more than dates and more than grief. So I can’t tell you, won’t tell you, how many days it is since he was born, or […]
Introducing the MADs Finalists
The MAD Awards are now half way through the voting process. Patch of Puddles has been nominated in two categories, Best Family Life Blog and Most Inspiring Blog. But there are also lots of other categories and I’m delighted to have the opportunity to introduce the finalists from two of them. The MADs are a […]

Josie at Sleep is for the Weak has asked us to take part in a meme to promote the Save the Children Campaign to bring vaccinations to developing countries as part of the No Child Born to Die initiative. 8 million children a year still die from preventable diseases such as pneumonia and diarrhoea. I […]
