The nursery has been work in progress for a long time. I was pregnant when we moved to the farm In 2012 and the room had no carpet and was used as somewhere to dry washing and dump things that I couldn’t find anywhere else for. I lost the baby and the room continued as…
Do you remember Mouseville in the Green Mile? It is a place for mice to be taken to live out the remainder of its years. “Visitors pay a dime apiece, two cents for the kids. Inside the tent they got this mouse city made out of old boxes and toilet paper rolls, little windows so…
I can’t decide if this week has gone fast or slow. At the moment, it seems the beginning of the week goes slow but Friday comes around very quickly. Week 35 sees me continue to be tired and ready for the baby to be here but I have a few weeks left. I had my…
Worry. It’s a mother’s prerogative. Comes with the territory and it’s definitely in the job description. I never worried as much as I did when I got pregnant with Boo. I bled at eight weeks with her and, despite seeing the little shape of her as a baby on the early pregnancy scan, until she…

What a year it’s been at the farm. Boo turned three in January and then started nursery in April. It was a big step for me letting go of my baby but she absolutely loves it. So much so that she now stays for her lunch every day during term time. Lambing was lovely as…
In what can only be described as Sod’s law, my weekly trip to the antenatal day unit on Christmas Eve was eventful. The consultant said my top was the best she had seen all week so I was quite pleased about that. My blood pressure was the best it’s been all pregnancy and my blood…
