Having let myself think it would get easier when I started to feel movement, I’m now finding it isn’t easier at all. This baby goes through phases of movement, which my head knows is normal, but my heart isn’t dealing with that at all. Yesterday, for the first time, I found myself thinking “we aren’t […]
The Eve of Change
It’s not often I delete a half written post, but I just have. I wanted to write something meaningful about the coverage of the 9/11 anniversary this weekend, but honestly I don’t have the stomach for it. Maybe I’d just end up adding to the one thing I find so difficult about our world wide […]
Dartmeet & parting with Dartmoor
For our last day, which was shaping up to be the hottest of all of them, we went to another new place. In fact, this time we did so many new things that we didn’t manage to fit in lots of old favourites and ended up not doing or seeing all the places and people […]
Buckland and Bude.
Which does sound rather like a firm of solicitors I think. As is usual, we made use of our National Trust membership. If you are a large family, days out with individual entry are just prohibitively expensive but NT membership means we can drop in and out of places without feeling we must squeeze every […]
Keeping WALKING!!!!
One of the things that struck me this holiday was how happily my children are entertained by very simple pleasures. I know lots of people like to pack holidays full of educational days out and seeing everything? and I know that essentially we are quite boring as we tend to just go back to the […]
Back where we belong.
Not the most auspicious of starts to a holiday 😆 The way down to Devon was dogged by bad traffic and the journey took much longer than normal. Fortunately, *she says, getting the plug in early* Three had lent us a Mifi Mobile Broadband doodah which meant iPhone and iPods could have a decent connection […]
Under the Sea Party Costumes
At the weekend we attended the yearly fancy dress party over at The Beans. It was, as usual, an excellent do, though missing some of the usual suspects this year, but lovely anyway. I completely forgot to take photos, so I thought I’d mark the occasion with a display of our rather excellent costumes. They […]
Dreams : One : Two : Three
We forgot to go to Freddie’s funeral. We were busy, the girls were alive and needed us and life goes on and… oh my word, it was today and we forgot. Max was okay with it; after all, it was just a procedure, he didn’t need us there, the girls needed us. It was just […]
Camping it up.
I could start this post by saying we are confirmed campers. When I think about it though, I haven’t actually had a proper tent holiday since before I was pregnant with Freddie. I can’t even pinpoint it now. Maybe the Summer before but I think not, so probably even the summer before that. If it […]
It's not much but it's home.
One of the things I had intended to do this year was make our home more… well… homely. When we first moved here we were all of a dither with big stuff that had been going on. The move was a rush job anyway, one that certainly took the then 18 month old Josie by […]
