Just in case you’re wondering, MY &%$#@ WEDDING DRESS ISN’T READY YET! I shall leave a little space while we all panic a bit. Yes, you’re right, we need more space than that. Ok. Deep breaths now. It turns out the shop, in its infinite lack of wisdom, had decided that my lovely wedding …
Sponsored post Can I just say, arghhhhhhhhhh! My wedding dress isn’t ready yet. Arghhh. Arghhh!! Deep breath. Deep breath. Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, review time. First of all, a huge thank you to Charlie Bigham’s incredibly delicious ready meals. I must have had a conversation with a lovely PR about this at some …
Ooops, sorry, I’ve been neglecting you – it’s been half term, that’s one excuse. The other is I’m GETTING MARRIED IN 12 DAYS’ TIME! Eeek! While, obviously, this is a Good Thing, it is also a rather Stressful Thing. Second weddings ought to be like second children – a little bit more relaxed. But my …
I can’t pretend to know much about what’s going on in Houla, Syria, but when lovely Potty Mummy asked me to join in and write something about the situation, in order to try and focus as much attention as possible on what is going on there, I was very pleased to join in. Of course …
Ok, I’m breaking off from the gardening for just long enough to bring you something which may well change your lives – Child Two’s Fruit Theories. Now Child Two is a thoughtful sort of girl. She is not one to waffle. She has a tidy mind (though sadly not always the tidiest bedroom ….) and …
I have a confession to make. I’ve been neglecting my blog. I have another love. It’s crept up on me all of a sudden, but it’s turned into a deep passion, more or less overnight. Well, since it stopped raining anyway. It’s gardening. It’s just so lovely to be outside, pottering around in the flowerbeds, …
Hello my lovelies, I am back at last from a little jaunt to Copenhagen. TL had to go to a conference so I scrounged a lift to see whether the whole of Denmark is like Borgen, The Killing and The Bridge. Well, I’m glad to report that, as far as I’m concerned, it is. I …
Sponsored Post Are you getting excited about the Olympics? No, me neither. If you live in London, it’s hard to escape the conclusion that moving around the city in August will be like doing a triathalon for all us regular citizens, let alone the athletes themselves. And if you don’t live in London, it’s still …
I sometimes think, with divorce, that I really have been there, done that and been forced to give the T-shirt to my ex. Thank goodness, it’s done and dusted. But for some of you out there, it’s a new, raw and scary experience, where every phone call brings a risk of recriminations and every letter …
Great excitement with the girls this morning. Child One had remembered a dream. This is quite an event, as she is convinced she almost never dreams. Her last one was about tomatoes and a lighthouse, so you can see they are worth waiting for. This one didn’t disappoint. The mild-mannered father of one of her …
