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 […]
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 […]
Sunday Stitches
Yesterday (before I succumbed to the cold from Hades) I went on a workshop to learn some pretty knitting skills with Debbie Abrahams; she’s a bit of a knitting hero of mine, as lots of the squares from the survival blanket of 2010-2011 came from her books. It was a lovely day, designed to publicise […]
A New Beginning Looms
Having rather looked forward to celebrating PoPs 10th birthday, I was in a forest with not much signal for the big day. So belatedly, aside from the rather fetching new look I gave the blog last week, I bought I should say 'happy 10th birthday, little blog of minThey've grown up rather. Lot, those Puddle […]
An almost finished product.
A few weeks ago the girls were involved in a show at a new dance school they’ve joined. All the older three did something solo in it, though Fran also performed lots in group dances, at one point doing three consecutive solos to cover spaces by absentees and also led her little ballet troupe through […]
Growing Fabulous Teens.
If only there were a manual for bring up the perfectly balanced child. Wouldn’t life be simpler? If only, we all sigh from time to time, parenting came with a manual. Not one of the ones you can buy written by people who never had their own child to care for, but one tailor made […]
Stitched Sunday
With one blanket under my belt this year and the cardigan of doom finished (I don't think I like it though 🙁 ) I thought it was time to try something new. I've got another throw on the go but it doesn't need to be ready till autumn and I fancied doing something new. I'm […]
On yer bike.
Max and I don’t do a brilliant job of switching off from work; our weekends usually involve something, either sat at a computer in snatched moments between dancing runs or stock uploads or sorting out something or other while passing the unit. I work partly every day if I’m home in the week and even […]
See the sun again.
April has come and gone. It was hard this year. Hard because it will always be hard. Hard because it fought against the Spring and the sympathetic balm of warmth and light that is normally so familiar, so sweet, so sad, did not come. Hard because there was no fug of new baby warmth and […]
