What not to expect when you tell your hubby you’re in labour…

03/09/201505/09/2017

“Hello, this is my wife. She’s in labour, but don’t worry, she’s just going to sit over there and get on with it.” As introductions go, it was certainly memorable.

The end of summer

02/09/201508/09/2023

There’s a sense of melancholy that comes with the end of summer, an acute awareness of the passage of time and the realisation that no matter how much I want to slow it down, it continues to march on relentlessly. The changing of the seasons hits me harder at this time of year than it… Read More

The church that we go to is one that holds some very special memories for us as a family. It was the church that my hubby was christened in, grew up in and was part of Boys’ Brigade company. When I moved to the area, it made sense to me to go there too. I… Read More

A look back through the years

17/03/201528/03/2017

My arrival in the world was quite a surprise for my mum. She only discovered that she was having twins after my sister was born and the midwife said “hang on a minute, there’s another one!” I love the fact that every time my mum tells this story, she also says that it was the… Read More

31/12/201430/04/2016

Family It’s been a good year for us as a family.
