Ok… So it’s been a while… Quite a long while in the blogging world. I have an excuse (only one).

I’ve had a little access from work (in [...]

It’s the festive season, the holdays, Christmas time, a time to spend with family and friends, looking back, having a laugh and looking ahead. As an ‘expat’ in a foreign land (I know it’s not that foreign being English speaking and all… but bear with me it’s all about the rhythm) it can be a [...]

Did not wake up through two transfers. Sound asleep through dinner…. Then at 4am I’M HUNGRY MUMMY!!! Ok little man….. I [...]

I am woken for the first time around 5.30 am by Brendan’s alarm, and kept awake by him clambering over me (he sleeps on the wall side) to get ready for his work day. He generally sneaks out around 6 am, and if Baby R doesn’t wake with the sound of the front (only) door [...]
