It is nearly time to start making this baby a blanket and I’m struggling for inspiration. Fran had one made from a pattern and the other girls used it too; after her I never managed to make ones for the others, so my Nana stepped into the breach. Freddie’s I made as a sampler while […]
Farewell Fiver
On Friday morning our perhaps most beloved of all of us rabbit, died. Max went out to find him stretched peacefully out in their mini house. There was no evidence of anything wrong, he was chunky ad his eyes were clear and no obvious swellings or anything. He wasn’t particularly old, just 4 1/2 years, […]
19 Weeks Pregnant
Marmite has made it to 19 weeks and is still going strong 🙂 Yesterday my consultant and I agreed I am now half way. We have a date that should be Marmite’s birthday and a plan of sorts. The plan falls somewhere between mental health padded cell accommodation for me and the best and most […]
To remind myself some other day.
I wrote this as a comment on Glow, that amazing wonderful place that has held me together over the last year. I’m copying it here to remind myself, on the days when the empty and dark feelings have me by the throat and won’t let go and when it seems that life, any amount of […]
Trains…
The kids have been reasonably pleased with the whole “Night Mail” thing and have done some great work on it. I’ve not done photos yet but Maddy has done an amazing snippet of poem to fit into it:- “And though the country is very vast, she’ll never get lost, she’ll keep going fast. She’ll follow […]
The Gallery: April
As things go, the Gallery provided too many opportunities for reflection this month. Too many I couldn’t walk past: they felt like a summons. But April hasn’t been a sad month, after all, it has been a happy month, one that has helped me see how lucky I am, even if it takes a certain […]
Making something grow
Thanks to my many lovely friends, the garden is still looking beautiful; daffs are hanging on, tulips blooming, one magnolia is still making new blooms and the other is about to burst open. Not bad for an iPhone. It’s worth a thank you. I didn’t want to garden last year, but being sent trees and […]
Happy Face and Button Pictures
Oh i could twist and turn in the mud of a good old wallow tonight. But I’ll spare you the agony; I think it would probably be gratuitous and maybe I’ll need to do it more another night. So instead, let me tell you how I spent the day with the two girls who were […]
Finding some local shops
Yesterday Max and I took one of our brief times out, time we set aside for checking up on each other and on us. As we had a morning, instead of a more normal lunch time, so we didn’t go to Fotheringhay this time; the fields were also full of fog as we set out, […]
The End of All Things
The one that starts with things endings and ends with things beginning and covers up an awful lot of wondering “how could you?” It has been a horrible week; I’ve cried harder this week than I have all year, mostly bout things I can’t write and partly because anything stressful turns into more tears about […]
