I’ve written a few posts over the years about my struggle to conceive and become a mum and a while ago I wrote a ‘Catching Up‘ post where I announced my first and very brief pregnancy. It was a very distressing time and I thank you for all your support and lovely messages and emails.

Colin took me a away for a weekend up north as his mum and dad were over from Ireland on a mini Scottish break and we thought we’d join them. We all booked into the same hotel in Pitlochry and had a lovely time. I was still hobbling about and taking the lift rather than […]

We took on an allotment last year – around the end of the summer – but due to my operation and then the weather, we left it unattended and nearly got kicked out for this very reason. I planned to start the year on a positive and went up on the 2nd January and despite […]
