We first met a Didicar in the hallway of the Bean’s house, some years ago. They do have a biggish (and conveniently wooden floored) hallway, which made it a good place to drive one and I was impressed at the fun that was had with what at first glance seemed to be just a ride […]
The End.
And then Tuesday came and with it, the end of a way of life and the end of a blog life. Perhaps that’s a little dramatic. But it does all feel a little dramatic, though I am trying hard not to BE dramatic about it. You can forgive me a momentary blog flounce perhaps 😉 […]
The biggest thing about today
Today was the day that Maddy, the child who ended up being home educated for the longest, started school. She had a great day; she came home full of stories and thoughts and interest. I think she went at just the right time and like her sisters before her, she seems to have made a […]
Right Where I Am: Three Years, Two Months
The yearly check in with grief via Still Life with Circles has become fundamental to me. I have waited for it to come around again yet now I wonder what thoughts to write. If I say “Life is good”, I feel the eyes of the boy who isn’t on my back. Imagining myself walking on, […]
Sunday Stitches: Granny Square Cushion
Crochet having rather taken over as my quick hand occupying evening craft of choice (I do want to do more knitting but it needs more thinking about) I’ve been learning to make granny squares from a rather fabulous book called 100 Bright & Colourful Granny Squares. I like this book for lots of reasons (although […]
Centerparcs review – pottery, high wires and … relax….
Wednesday was a pretty busy day. First of all our eldest three went off on a the aerial adventure; Max and the big two have done it before but it was new to Amelie. Apart from the bit that always looks to me like it shouldn’t be that scary, she was fine. Both Max and […]
Centerparcs Review: a perfect week part one
We have been fans of Elveden Centerparcs for many years now, taking our first holiday there when Amelie was just a year or so old. We’ve been back there in groups of friends and alone, including once as a week long, main summer holiday many times since. It never fails to be a good week […]
#PinItForwardUK – My love affair with Pinterest.
In the very darkest days of my life, when there was no colour but blue anywhere in the world, no children but baby boys and no solace to be found anywhere outside my own home, I stumbled upon Pinterest. I must have been one of its earliest users and I sunk hours of bleak, grief […]
Time for more clearing out then.
You may remember that we were recently busy clearing out the house as part of the 40 days project? It was pretty successful really and an awful lot of clutter left the establishment. I’d intended to get going on a 40 jobs projects, along with a ’40 nice home making crafts’ project, but that hasn’t […]
Guest Post: Lazy Seamstress Woollen Newborn Baby Clothes Bundle
This weeks 10 Year Blog Anniversary comes from Jeanette at Lazy Seamstress. Jeanette and I have ‘known’ each other for years online, since I first frequented the home birth yahoo groups in my elusive hope of a trouble free baby birthing. She and I have since become even more closely linked after mutually losing our […]
