Going ice-skating for the first time at Windsor on Ice

It’s been a long time since I last went ice-skating. The last time I went was shortly after hubby and I got engaged. His proposal had been somewhat spontaneous and spur-of-the moment so it was a few weeks after our engagement that I was given my engagement ring. It was the run-up to Christmas, and… Read More

24/11/201724/11/2017
Rearranged - this week's word of the week

Jessica’s surgery has had to be rearranged yet again. This time we made it into hospital, had an overnight stay and got Jessica ready for the surgery in the morning, only to be told that the surgeon was unwell, PICU was full and the surgery would have to be postponed again.     I know… Read More

Friday Focus 17/11/17 – Keep calm and carry on

17/11/201716/11/2017
The word "calm" with a rainbow over the top - this week's word of the week

We’re getting closer and closer to the new date for Jessica’s surgery. At the moment, I feel quite calm about it all, although I suspect that may change over the weekend as the reality of going back into hospital hits home again. This week has been all about enjoying the ordinary little moments of family… Read More

Hubby and Jessica on the swings at Langley Park

We should have been in hospital that afternoon, preparing for Jessica’s surgery the following day. Instead, we were enjoying spending time together as a family, and having fun at Langley Park.
