  • That guilty feeling

    This picture that Michelle took just cracked me up, so I couldn’t resist. I feel like it fits the mood too! Guilt. What a funny feeling it is. Before we went to the UK I unfortunately accepted redundancy. I was so busy with Peggy at the time and looking forward to our trip to the…

  • Our trip take 2

    So where were we… Christmas! Christmas Eve is always one of the best days, filled with hunting, friends, mulled wine, port and mince pies. Hayden followed on the quad and enjoyed quite a few bottles of port! Christmas Day, as always, we ventured round to the Camm’s. Slightly later than they had anticipated, but we…

  • And we’re back!

    Wow. I have been procrastinating over this for some time now. It’s been a while since I last wrote and I’m struggling to know where to start. But it seems, looking back, that I was off to Christchurch with a truck and float load of animals and humans. Well I can confirm I survived that…

  • Peggy’s first trip across the pond

    Another month has flown by. I did intend on writing these more often but the days just seem to disappear. We have certainly crammed a lot in to the last month. We started off October with our first swimming lesson. I think she was a bit overwhelmed in our first lesson and was very quiet,…

  • The Jersey cow

    Where has the last month gone. The time sure seems to disappear so quickly. A lot has happened in the last four weeks. Peggy is six months in a few days which is crazy! She is now rolling over both ways with ease. I know she’d really like to crawl but we’re just working that…

  • Peggy and the Pumpkin

    Peggy has started to really change in the last week or so. She is in the phase of being distracted by anything and everything, which can make feeding her pretty entertaining and much longer than it needs to be! Crying because she’s hungry for the bottle but, oh wait, what’s that, a lampshade! We’ve been…

  • On the move

    I have a car! Wahoo! Having my own transport again is an absolute game changer and means I can come and go as I please with Peggy. Now there will be no stopping us, so I’m looking forward to some baby classes and getting Peggy swimming. Thank you so much to Hayden’s family for finding…

  • It has taken me nearly all week, to write this. Actually, it has taken me all week. Everything takes triple the time it used to these day! But anyway, exciting news… We have chickens back! The farm has been a bit like a ghost town the last few months, which has been very odd but…

  • Time is flying by, and Peggy is now four months old. Crazy! I had booked a year off work for maternity leave but have now arranged to go back when she is six months, in October. I love her to bits, but my brain needs something else to do. To keep me sane! Although I…

  • The postpartum surprises

    There are a few strange things that happen to you whilst you’re pregnant and some random things certainly pop out of the woodwork once you’ve given birth too. I didn’t have many cravings whilst I was pregnant, but I did suddenly go off coffee, which was a bit sad! I reverted to a good old…
