It’s night time again and my 4 year old is exhausted. Having spent a teacher training day bouncing, wrestling and chattering with her 5 and 2 year old cousins in our back garden, I expect her to fall asleep as soon as her head touches the princess emblazoned pink of her pillow. But no. It [...]

Miss M and I are sat having a latte/orange juice in Schmesco. We have an hour to kill before we collect Miss E from Drama Club, and have developed (well we’ve done it twice,) the habit of a drink and a chat in the cafe. It’s so so lovely to sit opposite my little girl [...]

Today we should have been in Bath. We should have been in Bath with my friend Zerilda. We should have been in Bath with my friend Zerilda and her two kids, kids that my two kids adore, and that I kind of love too. Bugger bugger bugger. Instead, I plan to be in the bath with a glass of [...]

Not everyone believes in God, or Bob as I sometimes call him. That’s fine. Although I was brought up a Catholic, there have been times I’ve questioned stuff, and now I like to think I have my own version who just kind of smiles and nods a lot and basically fits most faiths idea of [...]

There are many reasons why a person might want to attend a Church Garden Party. Like, erm, the multitude of unwanted old toys your kids tend to come home with. or the yummy home made cakes that have rolled into a squishy ball of goo by the time you take them out of your bag. or the interesting stuff you can [...]

It started with a low buzzing, the kind that often accompanies warm sunshine. As I carry out a basket of sweetly damp washing I half expect to be met by a cloud of drunken bees, swarming their way haphazardly towards my children’s freshly washed bedding. Then I see them, low to the ground, dancing from blade [...]

I nicked this from the fabulous Dulwich Divorcee by way of the equally fabulous and lovely Maternal Tales. I’m not actually here. As in not in my house. Well ok, I am as I write but not as you read. Ok? Good, we can move on then. I’m actually in sunnier climes, snort. Scarborough to be [...]
