So there goes 2014. All done and dusted, and quite possibly the quickest year there ever was. Charles' school really made an effort with Christmas this year. They put on a Christmas Fayre which Charles and I went to. It was nice to have that quality time together and to see that the majority of the staff there knew him and remembered his name, I find that r…
Read moreHow was your Christmas? Good I hope. Mine this year, was ok. It may seem ungrateful to say it was just ok. I was grateful for the cards, the gifts, the family time, the messages from friends and family who don't live nearby and being in peoples thoughts. But, something was missing. And I'm not sure what? I think the build up to Christmas was a hint of wh…
Read more40. Charles had a trip to Tesco with his school. They looked at how bread is made as well as other produce. He found it really interesting and especially loved the hats they were given to decorate. 41. This reminds me so much of when we used to breastfeed. Me laying on my side and Harry relaxed next to me. We were just having a cuddle after bath-time and the cat e…
Read moreWe have only one week left of Living Arrows 2014. I have loved being a part of this project, and feel so proud to have actually completed it! Never a missed week, maybe the odd panic and almost late, last minute photo, but still sent on time and true of our week. I love looking back at the photos, and knowing the story behind them. Sometimes you can look a…
Read moreSo you've been given opportunities. You are told daily how amazing you are. You have people who adore you. People who want to be just like you. You are successful, your are talented. You have goals and aspirations, and will probably achieve them all. You have people who are desperate to meet you. You have people who go all shy when they see you, they are so…
Read moreI'll never forget those gummy smiles Charles used to give me as a baby. The ones where you look at them and wonder what they will look like when that mouth is full of teeth. And then, when that mouth is full of teeth you can't then imagine them without them. In September Charles got his first wobbly tooth. It was really quite exciting. It's a mileston…
Read moreThe end of the year always means one thing when it comes to blogging, for me anyway. It's time to look back on the year, reading old posts, seeing what I have achieved and what I would like to improve on. It's the time I make a plan on how I am going to go into the new year, and a rough idea of what on earth I want to do. And at the moment. I feel like a b…
Read moreHow is it December now?! November seemed to fly past. We've had quite an exciting and also sad-ish month. This is the first time we've had to experience packing a yacht up at the end of sailing season. It was really sad seeing her without her sails on and then eventually seeing her in the shed where she will sit and rest until April next year. Sunday…
Read moreVideo is something I have always been interested in. I loved Media Studies when I was completing my GCSE's and A Levels and made a short film during activities week back in 2000 when I was in my first year of high school, a film which was played again to the whole school in 2012 in our last assembly For my GCSE coursework I put together a film about a charity I …
