So what would you both like to do, seeing as it’s Dad’s birthday on the same day as Mothering Sunday? Ok. Advice on tree hugging can be found here.

TG is where it’s at
We had Fish and Chips at the ‘TG’ AGM last night, it was quite the scandal. Townswomen’s Guild (or ‘TG’ if you’re one of the cool kids) is a slightly more urban centric version of the WI. Last night marked the anniversary of my membership and the payment of my 2012/13 subs. I maintain it’s…
Connect four
A happy littering of serendipity has befallen me lately. This year so far I am back in touch with at least four people that I haven’t spoken to in years, and it’s been truly lovely to catch up on all the news and latest plans for cars/babies/extensions/holidays/hair do’s, and another opportunity to extend my straw…
Part 1: Things that slightly concern me, Wednesday
I have many dear friends who are currently expecting, and I really would like to be there for them and offer my support in their hour(s) of need. Indeed I am not at all adverse to nappy changing, feeding, bouncing, twirling, putting it in a box until it stops crying, or force feeding it tixylix….

Spring is springing
At last it’s starting to feel like spring has sprung. It’s been a manky grey this week, but I’m glossing over that and feeling rather cock-a-hoop that I have spotted snowdrops, crocuses and bluebells beginning to emerge from their winter hidey hole, and the world has taken on that comforting warm, little bit like when…
Snow and Moustaches
My dear other half celebrated a birthday with a ‘0’ in it earlier this month. It was an impromptu evening, which quite often turn out to be the best sorts, in my opinion. He got a Ukulele, we played ‘pass the parcel’, drank an unrestricted amount of wine, and it snowed. We keep company with unusual sorts….
Happy Valentine’s Day
For the men I know, an expression of my sympathy. To my own Husband, thank you for still marrying me. A short note to the most considerate girl (to be my wife this spring), I hope this will pre-empt more questioning, Of why right now we aren’t flying to Venice, Business class on a mystery…
