I’ve never been keen on having my photo taken, being a shy child, and until having N just not liking it especially when I’m not at my fit healthy self. The inbetween stage of 6th form and uni (pre-digital cameras…
Given that this week is National Breakfast Week, I thought it was quite appropriate to think about breakfast in our house…or out of our house. I’m a big believer in breakfast, even though I find I tend to eat more…
Obviously, living on a farm means that N is obsessed with farms. He watches Tractor Ted, knows more than me about different farming vehicles and what they do (admittedly not hard), and is gradually building up his collection of farming…
I should know by now that nothing would stop N from going outside to play, but I’m still astounded at how little he appears to feel the cold. It just shows it’s true how there’s no bad weather, only inappropriate…

It’s coming up for a year after my mum died. I can’t believe it’s been a year, and yet in some ways it feels like a lot longer. She’d been suffering for the best part of a year with an…
N still isn’t that excited by learning letters. It astounds me when I see children the same age or younger recognising and naming all the letters in the alphabet, or writing more than their names. N’s only just drawing picture…
