Kestor is our place. it’s the place Max took me on our first Dartmoor walk together, the place we got lost in fog together, the place we have walked out children at all the ages they have been. It’s his second ‘home’ tor, nestling above Chagford and Thorn where his Gran lived and where he […]
Dartmoor Days Out : Lustleigh Cleave
This year we tried a new walk, straying over to a side of Dartmoor we don’t know so well. The day started fairly hysterically, as we (I say we, I do of course mean ‘him who does the driving’) decided to take a road marked as a track between North Bovey and a place I […]
Running and Racing
I haven’t said a great deal about it, but I started running a couple of months ago. It was a little mortifying at first, as I’m a good old weight & very unfit and lumbering around in a red faced, boob bumping manner was not entirely something to brag about. To be honest, I really […]
Right where I am: 1 year, 2 months.
Right at the beginning, I promised myself I would not stray down the path of marking moments and counting days. Not again. Not for Freddie. I wanted him to be more than dates and more than grief. So I can’t tell you, won’t tell you, how many days it is since he was born, or […]
Birthday Girls
Earlier in May, Amelie was 9. She had a lovely day I think, even though we didn’t actually do much. It isn’t every child who would be quite so thrilled with a Jayne’s Aircraft Manual, but I’m not complaining. There is nothing wrong with a child who has a good smattering of weird interests 😀 […]
The Things They Say
I love it when children come up with cute things and say them. Josie, for instance, last week said ??I think I must be allergic to not having chocolate, because I felt sick, so I ate some chocolate and now I??m fine!?? Result. On the other hand?? ??How old IS Kate Middleton??? ??About 9 years […]
Allotment Watch
You can’t say fairer than seeing your first little shoots of stuff coming up 🙂 While the garden is fairly bursting with veggie life, the allotment is (understandably) behind it but these onions were only put in over the Royal Wedding Weekend and shoots were really exciting to see. There was also a garlic shoot […]
Blanket Watch
The sanity blanket is nearing completion. It was 8 squares left and then I decided it wanted it to be 7×7 so now it is back to being 9. I really want this done now; I want it finished by the end of May, so I am knitting MADLY. Argh. I think it is good […]
Silent Sunday
We got Annie!
Thanks to the money saved up from a bit of blogging and the desperate plea of someone who works for us and who really wanted to see it but was too shy to go without kids in tow, we went to see Annie today 🙂 It’s a bit of a special one for all of […]
