These are a few of my favourite things. We had a family day out to Belton House, home of the Moondial. We’ve got a lot of fond memories of being there, it’s one of our haunts (and was even one of mine, as I had a school trip there once when I was about 9), […]
Posting about Poo.
I’m doing this one because I need a laugh 😆 and because, dammit, if after 5 children you can’t have anecdotes and stories about poo, what the hell do you have? So girls, this one is for you lot on your wedding days – if me and daddy are not there for some reason, promise […]
Live in the now
Impossible not to live in the now. April is always a month of the past, has always been the month where I looked back and was surprised the life goes on, the world keeps spinning, the days pass. The month of shoots and sprouting and Spring, when things appear and the earth smells fresh. How […]
Sunshine in April
When Freddie died, Max and I attended his funeral almost alone. We had just our doctor/nurse/midwife team and one friend as a witness, a friend who happens to bridge the gap between real life and those people who cared for us.It is hard to explain why we made that decision, except that I felt I […]
Mother's Day
I’m a very lucky mother to have children and a husband who understand how hard today felt, the first ever Mother’s Day without Freddie. I had one present early, on Thursday. Today I was woken with cards and breakfast and tea this morning which was beautifully perfect. Josie made me a really wonderful card, the […]

Dear Freddie, Today you should be one year old. Today I am out of words. Only that we miss you and love you and wish you were with us. 7 candles burning under the daffodils now is no substitute for 7 of us snuggled up on the sofa after a long day of presents and […]
Remembering Freddie on his birthday
From Rich & Ella in Australia, a photo by Merrily Me on Flickr. Remembering Freddie on his birthday. I also made a picture to send to StillLife 365. I’m very grateful to Angie for featuring it on his birthday. Fran wrote about him too. Angela lit a candle for him… thank you. So did Cara; […]
Something
We’ve made some plans for the weekend now, I’m really hoping the weather will improve and cheer up again after being so nice for the last few days. I’m hoping it will be happy, and dignified, and I won’t cry too much and the kids will get it and feel some sense of completion from […]
One week until 11 days until 2 weeks until forever.
I’ve tried not to be maudlin this March. I thought it would be so awful and it hasn’t been but suddenly it has hit me that in 6 days I should be celebrating a birthday. In 6 days I can’t say “I was pregnant this time last year. This week is it. This week is […]
