Big What??

I’m driving Misses E and M, and my nieces aged 3 and 6 to school.  We’re stopped at traffic lights beside a row of shops when Miss M decides to share her developing reading skills with us…
Miss M: “b, i, g, b, a, p, s.  Big Baps Mummy.”
I stifle a snort.
Me: “Yes that’s a cob [...]

PMDD is not all of me

Just because I have an illness that can hurl me deep into depression, it does not mean it rules my life all the time.
Just because I have a condition that can affect my moods and judgment, it does not mean my thoughts and feelings should be dismissed.
Just because sometimes my hormones make me scatty, forgetful, [...]

The Grand Raffle – Hadrian’s Walk

This is a sticky post. To see the most recent entry on the blog please scroll down

You might have heard something about a little walk we’re doing in July.  When I say we, I mean a huge group of friends, friends of friends and quite a few bloggers (collective noun for bloggers anyone??…babble, [...]

Some things are more important – more news

I was going to write about the success of Miss E’s first trip away today.  I was going to tell you how she loved every minute, even the six hour walk, the two hour outdoor swim and getting up early to help make breakfast for everyone on her first morning.  I was going to pontificate [...]

Dear Blog

Dear Blog
I do still love you.  No really, I do; but it’s been such a mad couple of weeks and there’s no end in sight.  I’ve had two friends with health scares, two family members giving birth, a hen night, a holiday to plan, a poorly eyed child, a bump headed child, a new post [...]

Bunny Bothering

I have learnt something today.
And if I didn’t have a hangover, and wasn’t really very very tired I would paint a picture with words for you.
But I do, so here it is
in shorthand
to the point
succinct
(clears throat)
If your rabbit is running around your dining room and you want him/her to return to his/her cage, then simply [...]

Way up high

I’ve always thought of myself as a bit of a big kid.  I adore daft humour, enthusiasm, vibrance, and love the way kids think.  But there are some parts of being a ‘responsible’ adult that I don’t think you can avoid, for example, when you’re a grown-up, there’s so much out there that you don’t [...]

That Special Place – The Gallery

There are some places that are almost too special to share.  I always feel a little nervous when I write about this one as it’s so small and perfect and unspoilt, and I love it.  But for you Tara, and for the fabulousness that is the Gallery,  I give you Wembury, Plymouth.
It’s where that beach [...]

A Fishy Question

I love that my 5 year old asks questions.  Sometimes it scares me –  like when she asks questions about Santa, or questions relating to mine and her dad’s separation,  or when she asks me things I’m just not ready for, but mostly I love it.
I suppose that’s because it gives me an insight into how [...]
