Good morning! Thank you so much for all of your craft suggestions and telling me your words for the year. I love the dialogue we have and want to encourage more of that. Something I’ve been thinking about trying to facilitate since my Shall We Talk post from last year. I think I’m almost there. [...]

I’m feeling ever so slightly contemplative today and that’s always a dangerous way to feel when you blog. But hey ho, lets get on with it. My word for 2012 is ENERGY. Let me explain why. By the time 2011 had wrapped I had, over the last three years, been pregnant twice, lost both those [...]

When I was out shopping yesterday with Robert I had a text from my dad. It said that yesterday was his father’s, my grandfather’s, birthday. My grandfather died when I was very young indeed. My other grandfather, my Mum’s dad, died when I was pregnant with my twins. Both of them took part in World [...]

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! It is a happy one too! Jodie is home. And Henry is home too. And it will all be OK. My amazing younger sister and I had a long hug at her home on Friday and we both cried quite a bit. She’s been through such a lot but still kept her humour [...]

My sister has pneumonia, I was told last night. She is very weak and is being fed by a tube that she has in her nose leading down to her stomach. We need her to get better. Henry, who is doing fantastically, needs her to get better. I know she will get better but she’s [...]

As usual it’s been quite eventful round these parts. On Saturday at 03.26am my sister gave birth to a boy, Henry, via C-Section. He came in at a rather large 9 lbs 4 oz and is doing very well indeed. We’re all absolutely delighted that he’s here and doing well and the thought of him [...]
