You’ve been counting down the sleeps for the last couple of weeks, and last night you were almost too excited to sleep. A birthday is a very exciting thing when you are seven years old. You are looking… Read More

Darling Thomas, Today you are two. How can it possibly be two years since you made your rather unusual entrance into the world? My rainbow baby – you have brought so much sunshine into our storms, capturing my heart from the moment I laid eyes on you. What a bundle of joy (and of mischief!)… Read More

Darling Jessica,   Today is your eighth birthday. Eight sounds so grown up. I wonder what you would have been like now. I could imagine you on your seventh birthday but I can’t quite imagine what you would be like if you were still here now. I know that you would be excited about your… Read More

Darling little Thomas, Today is your first birthday. I can’t quite believe that you are now one and that it has been a whole year since you came into the world. My last baby. My teeny tiny boy who is no longer quite so teeny tiny. You’re on the brink of becoming a toddler –… Read More

Friday Focus 10/05/19 – Entering my forties

10/05/201909/05/2019
The word 'forty' surrounded by small numeral '40's

I turned forty yesterday. The start of a new decade in my life. It’s made for a bit of an emotional rollercoaster of a week. Not because turning forty bothered me.
