So Christmas has come and gone and I meant to blog, but I didn't have any time (now thinking I should have made time...). Anyhow it was good, and tiring, and funny and frustrating and awkward and filled with beautiful moments and lots of food and drink and so nice to be with family and … Continue reading simples

The fog
Not Phileas Fogg, or London smog which can often be romanticised as fog, or the misty fog that is in Wuthering Heights. But the mind fog. In a meltdown the other day which I tastefully had during a walk in the snow blizzard, you have to give me props for my style whilst having said … Continue reading The fog
The Crown season 2
I love it. That's the end really. I also would like a lot of the interior decor, esp like the stuff that she has on her private train. Sadly the 1920s style ex-council house is not a royal train carriage, and is mainly a cluttered mess. Which leaves me mainly dreaming about … Continue reading The Crown season 2
Magic is in the imperfect moments
I had a little meltdown this evening...I wanted things to be...well just better. I want to enjoy making and writing Christmas cards but I also want them done...yesterday! I want to feel rested and clean but I want to enjoy being with Faith (which ultimately results in feeling tired and covered in food and other … Continue reading Magic is in the imperfect moments
And here we are…
The other day we were at a christingle service, and as I looked around the room and saw little hands holding onto oranges and candles flickering in the dark, I had a thought between my chattering away to a friend (because I struggle with keeping silent for any length of time) 'Is this what sacred … Continue reading And here we are…
2 became 3…how did that happen?
So you may be aware of the fact that until a few years ago Mike and I were pretty much set on not having our own children. We were fairly open about our decision, so much so that when I shared we were pregnant A LOT of people thought that it was an accident/unplanned. Despite … Continue reading 2 became 3…how did that happen?
Things to not do in an interview…
I would say I am a fairly confident, positive person that can talk the hind legs off a donkey...and yet in interviews I can be weird, very weird (actually maybe not just interviews now I think about it...) I manage to attract some 'special situations' around me as well as say some stupid things. For … Continue reading Things to not do in an interview…
Letting go of all the crap, so I’ve got space for you
I was going to write a post about how frustrated I have been about life not going to plan...ever...any more...because we are now parents. I have lost my patience too many times in the last few days; "why won't she sleep/eat/stop crying/stop flailing {esp when being changed)/persist with trying to hold the phone and then … Continue reading Letting go of all the crap, so I’ve got space for you
The big decision…
This feels super personal at the moment (not personal in the 'over share' way I can be...have no fear male friends, or female friends who'd rather I didn't-and sorry for the times I have!!) I need to get a job, financially we are at the stage where we need me to earn. I was self … Continue reading The big decision…
Is this adulting?
I am typing this whilst eating a tea of potato waffles and mayo, having anti-bacced everything I can and trying to work out what to prioritise in my to do list which is in my mind, because paper can't hold this many items. Mike is upstairs puking his guts up (hope you aren't reading this … Continue reading Is this adulting?
