I was a member of Baby Centre a good few years before I plucked up the courage to write a journal, but when I finally did I found it quite therapeutic. A few months later a friend said they were thinking of starting a blog focussing on their passion for food, sourcing it, cooking it, eating it… This got me… Read More

Infertile? Me?
“An infertile person, animal or plant cannot reproduce” I’ve been writing and re-writing this blog post for the best part of two weeks now but just can’t seem to find the words for what I want to say. However, this week is National Infertility Awareness week so I guess it’s kind of fitting that I post this now. Maybe I’ll come… Read More

After trawling the internet for holidays last month and whittling it down to a top 3 or 4, we may in fact be having a staycation.

Easter weekend
The long Easter weekend was very welcome for Mr R and I, the first time in a long time that we’ve had a lay-in and on 4 days in a row too! Normally our cats would be knocking on the bedroom door (ok it’s more a dragging the pads of their paws down the door but it’s an irritating noise all… Read More
Saracens vs Harlequins
My plans for Saturday had been to pop into our nearest town, go to the post office and bank, and to have a look for a couple of birthday presents. My actual Saturday turned out to be a trip to Wembley Stadium to watch the rugby!… Mr R had gone for a drink in our local Friday night, one of the regulars… Read More
