January looks mostly like this…

Posted on January 21, 2015 by Amy

Happy New Year. January feels like one of those months you survive in lieu of lighter evenings and warmer weather. Of course, these days there is a sense of occasion in that the Toddler celebrates a birthday. As of the 9th January, Kate moved in two years ago. Two! I know. I can’t remember life…

The light at the end

Posted on November 7, 2014November 7, 2014 by Amy

It’s been a while. It’s been a muddle. When things are in a muddle, my head is in a muddle and the words don’t work. But the skip goes next week. That’s a big deal. It means this big build is almost finally over. The instillation of a hob will complete domestic bliss. Phew! There…

Working on it…

Posted on August 25, 2014August 25, 2014 by Amy

It’s now seven weeks into the build and we are all absolutely exhausted. Yes, of course, the prospect of living in an environment infinitely nicer than our previous one, particularly minus the anaglypta wallpaper and omnipresent smell of granny (think carpet underlay) is very exciting – but the process of achieving a vision of semi-detached perfection…

The time when…

Posted on July 28, 2014July 28, 2014 by Amy

As we sat round our little table eating dinner together. In the hall. Next to the ironing board and a spare bit of coving. Remembering a time when we didn’t have to bail out our bath with a bucket because we still had a waste pipe, and a time when we didn’t share our bedroom…

Duck

Posted on July 13, 2014July 13, 2014 by Amy

The toddler’s favourite word is ‘duck’. Much to my relief the pronunciation has improved terribly, and so I no longer fear the reprisal of others when leaving the house.  Kate does however use her word with great conviction, and often in a number of non-bird related scenarios, and there is no accounting for her immaculate…

Open Farm Sunday 2014 - Shiplake Farm

It’s a busy day down on the farm…

Posted on July 4, 2014July 2, 2014 by Amy

Who’s that hiding in the barn? Our favourite book of the moment. It has taken me a while because a great deal of my leisure time recently has been consumed with dispensing advice on upholstery cleaning to the elderly. Lucky for you however (?) I have also managed to find a few spare moments to upload…

The Sofa Saga

Posted on June 30, 2014June 26, 2014 by Amy

We purchased two very nice and enormously comfortable cream sofa’s from Sofa.com a few years ago. I know, how you laugh, but we didn’t know about toddlers then. Anyway, we had a small incident a few weeks back involving a misplaced glass and some red wine which resulted in some unwanted decoration of a sofa…

Toddler Sunglasses

Sunglasses

Posted on June 26, 2014June 26, 2014 by Amy

Previously it was all about the balls. And now for some context to that statement. Moving on. The new fad in my toddler’s life is sunglasses. She has been major fans of both mine, Neil’s (and well anyone’s really) for some time now, so when strolling amongst the aisles of summer attire, I finally caved…

A Post on Post

Posted on June 25, 2014August 25, 2014 by Amy

I think it is possible that the former occupant of our house received the most post ever. For months on end we were e-mailing an incredible amount of organisations to remove us from their mailing lists – from double glazing manufacturers to decathlon training outfitters, freemason organisations, and the one which tugged at my heart…

Rockwool

Building

Posted on June 18, 2014June 18, 2014 by Amy

Now I always think to myself, there is nothing more inspiring than a pile of rockwool on a Wednesday. But for me it is actually rather magnificent as it marks the start of building works at our home, and at long last, we can get this place looking a bit more like we own it…

About

Hi, I’m Amy. I love the outdoors, blowy walks, tractors, cups of tea and sturdy hugs. I’ve been writing random musings for more than 20 years in an attempt to figure out ‘what it’s all about’. I still don’t know. This could be a very long blog.
