It's taken me two weeks to recover from a very tough weekend. I wasn't going to write about it but I've decided it is a community service announcement for mothers who are currently worried about inconsequential things like sleep patterns, nappy rash and bottle versus breast. People you need to be PREPARED. One day you will be facing down … [Read more...]

Weekend Notes
A Room of One's Own I reckon Virginia Woolf nailed it when she declared "a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction". In fact I think we can apply that to "a woman must have money and a room of her if she is to any damn thing at all". I have a room, I've been trying for twelve months to set it up as a study. We've … [Read more...]

As I began to compile my list the only criteria was they had to stick in my mind long after I had finished reading. As the list started to come together there … [Read more...]

Thank You I got a break from blogging this week when I handed over the reins to my friends Emma, Fiona, Therese and Katya. Each woman shared their journey to motherhood story, and they were all wonderful. A big thank you to each of them. None of these women are bloggers so it was very brave of them to share such personal stories online. I … [Read more...]
Weekly Photo Challenge – Pattern
The Weekly Photo Challenge this week is "pattern". I'm not 100 per cent sure clouds could be classed as making a pattern, it's not uniform or anything, but it is another quite spectacular photo from my brother. Perhaps a random pattern? … [Read more...]
