View this post on Instagram Feeling more Christmassy now that we have trees up and Richard is moaning about tinsel being used. He’s not keen on it. We have also had the ceremonial anointing of the trees with a fairy and this year, the new addition of a sausage dog which has been […]

The best baby gift for first Christmas
I was talking with someone today about how I wish that when our boys were small, it was a done thing and socially acceptable to buy second hand. FB groups were not what they are now. Online apps were not in existence. And I thought I needed to buy new for the boys. Ha. These […]
Cambridge Mummy on … what’s really important
November 2018, OK, this is the last post I’m publishing from my drafts for tonight. This was written on 26th August 2012. The boys were 5 and 4 years old. I think. My maths is not working as well as I want it to at the moment. I am so so so pleased to find […]

O Come All Ye Faithful …..
November 2018 – I don’t remember this – Richard playing the ukelele that day. I don’t remember much of this Christmas. But I think there is a photo of my Dad and my Brother and his now Wife on our sofa. I’ll get it and put it here in this post. The Bitch Rules is […]
Goodbye Christmas 2013
November 2018 – and to think, we didn’t know then, that we wouldn’t have many more Christmases with my Dad. Funny eh. I love finding these posts in drafts. It’s a healing thing. Farewell my friend. We’re done with you. The decorations have been taken down and put back in the loft. But somehow, there’s […]
The end of an era.
November 2018 – awwww, this post was 27th July 2014. Why on earth did I not share it??? Their sharing together, coupled with our open door policy, is the thing that’s made me most tired for so many years. And it’s what I’m most proud of. I am so pleased that we did it despite […]
Being myself….
November 2018 – it was November last year when I started counselling with Bronwen. Ostenisbly it was about my Dad and his dementia and how his decline was affecting my life. But counselling being what it was. And me being the sort of person who responds really well to it, in the end, I did […]
ooooohhhh, I do love a bit of navel gazing.
November 2018 – blimey, I was doing a lot of thinking in 2016, wasn’t I? 😉 I’m going to publish this one, because I want to realise how much money we used to get through. So. Much. Money. We have the least amount of money in our bank right now, that we’ve ever had. But […]
The cost of a funeral in Cambridge
As I write, it’s November 2018. I wrote this post in May 2018 and didn’t publish it for some reason. I can kind of see why I didn’t. But if you’re in the position of needing to work out costs for a funeral – well, firstly I’m sorry that you are and secondly, don’t be […]
Seasalt Cambridge – opening soon!!!
STOP EVERYTHING !!!! Seasalt is coming to Cambridge. I feel we need some kind of trumpet noise to herald this joyous thing. As you all know, I wear stripes nearly every day of my life. A stripy top covers every occasion. And if it doesn’t, it’s not the place for me. I am so excited. […]
Six months on….
Things I want to document, at 4.30am on Saturday 28 July. 1. My Dad died six months ago today and it was not the first thing I thought of this morning. I got up at 4.30am to let the dog out for a wee and because I was chuntering about the dog, it meant that […]
