This is the name of the song which has been sung around here so much recently that eventually I sent an email to the girls theatre teacher informing them that she was likely to get custody of them quite soon 😆 This week they were at a workshop, rehearsing a short version of the show […]
Breathe Deeply… Take the Plunge.
I never did this with Freddie so early. This time, it is different. This time, if this might be all I get of this baby, I want to record every step of the way. Even though we’re already 13 weeks along. 13 weeks. 6 or so scans. Some ups and downs already, with a mysteriously […]
An Amazing Maize Maze at Millets Farm
Yesterday I took 3 of our girls on my first ever bloggy PR day to see the wonders of the Maize Maze at Millets Farm in Oxfordshire. You might wonder how much fun you can have in a field that looks like this? The answer is, really an awful lot! We started our day by […]
Taking it to extremes.
After rather pathetically realising my ‘stay at home’ status had become a little bit too literal in my last post, we’ve been out every day this week. Which has been some achievement actually. We’ve been various children down at various points of the week this week so the dimensions of life have been quite different. […]
At the Kitchen Table with Glow: Time
This is my contribution to the meme hosted at Glow this week on the passage of time after the loss of a child. Two others I love are by Jeanette and Jill who both, thanks to us ‘knowing’ each other online before the deaths of our babies, have been particularly special to me in the […]
Finished it Friday
To be honest, if you look very closely, it isn’t really quite finished. I’ve got some bits to do better and alter and improve but for my first ever knitted cardigan, I’m proud of it. She loves it. The pattern is a Sirdar one, but I made it stripy and I wanted to use Rowan […]
Soup
I mind this new soup that I’m swimming in; don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for it. I’m grateful for the break from grief and the break from the relentless trying and recovering. It’s a relief to have at least one answer to one question, one why knocked off the list. But this new place […]
All a bit complicated
There are a lot of things in this post. Some reasons to chatter and some reasons why I haven’t been doing so much of that too. Sometimes the only way forward is to tumble it out and let anyone who wants to sift the melting pot. There is the large and the small tucked into […]
The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes
The Highwayman was a great choice of poem to study with our smaller than normal group of kids this week and it seemed to catch their attention from the 13 year olds right down to the 6 year old. it was the first time (I think) we’d done a full on narrative poem together and […]
A Day of Two Halves – Race for Life Day
Both of them were good 🙂 Since, oh, I dunno, April perhaps, I’ve been going out running 3 or 4 times a week, following the Couch 2 5K interval running programme. To start with, I couldn’t even run for a minute, but over the weeks, it has built up until, 10 days before the Race […]
