Maddy wrote this. I’m so proud 🙂 We had a lovely day at Zoe’s today. I took a variety of gel pens, some of which can be used on windows but all of which blend together. We got the kids to experiment for a while, drawing alongside them again to help encourage them. Then we […]
But I see you…
“You belong among the wild flowers You belong somewhere close to me Far away from your trouble and worry You belong somewhere you feel free.” “Every leaf on every tree And every drop of water in the sea Every grain of weathered sand That smashes itself onto dry land Every stone and every petal, everything […]
Sometimes you just know
I think most people thought our family was complete. I think we thought so too, despite having very different feelings about that. Thats another story. But with our youngest approaching 5 years old, we decided that perhaps we would, after all, have just one more baby. Sometimes knowing that we argued about that, about that […]
When you can't make it better
The only way round it is to try and do something good instead. We’re going to be making Hinchingbrooke SCBU the good cause that Merrily Toys & Crafts Ltd supports. First on our list of things to try is a virtual free gift in the checkout area. Choose that instead of a free gift on […]
This is how life is now
Wake up unusually cheerful. Very nearly bound out of bed without normal wallowing. Go to help Maddy with her laptop and CBBC has ICU style beeping in the background. Do my best but inevitably end up back in my bed crying. Beeping and anti-bacterial hand wash are, annoyingly, my two SCBU triggers. Make it through […]
Writing about it.
This is not a post about Freddie 😉 It’s a home ed post. Try to remain calm. It has probably not escaped the attention of anyone that i write about my feelings. I’m not a terribly coherent writer, nor do i think i paint pictures with my words all that well. I certainly don’t use […]
Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in.
A couple of days ago i read something that put, very succinctly, the confusion i had been feeling about where we are at the moment into words that i think might make sense to other people. Until i read it, i didn’t quite understand the sense in me that i was living a bit of […]
'Seamingly' going okay…
It has been a LONG time since i have done dress making, a very long time. Funny how many things on patterns i imagine to be some form of inbuilt knowledge and only teaching Fran is reminding me i had to learn them. We aren’t doing too badly. This is for her Beatles outfit for […]
In the hands of a bitter, bitter moon.
Dear Freddie, You should be 2 months old today. I can’t remember what a 2 month old is like – i was very much looking forward to reminding myself with you, finding out all over again about having a baby in the house. In a perfect world, the one i have to remind myself we […]
Dartmoor Holiday
Last week the six of us took a week away in our absolute favourite place in the entire world – Dartmoor, the place where Max spent the early part of his childhood. We rented an absolutely gorgeous 2 bed cottage on a farm, with a lovely garden that the children tented in. Lower Hookner was […]
