Music Festival with a Disabled Child & Toddler
Brave? Think so. In fact, I feel incredibly proud of us as we drive along the M4 towards Malmesbury, home of WOMAD. W isn’t best pleased and she’s almost certainly a bit hungry because she has less milk before getting… Read more ›
Adapted seating, wheelchairs, special chairs, it’s all about mindset
Since Willow got her Jenx Bee chair a fortnight ago, I’ve been battling with a feeling I can only compare to guilt, though not guilt. I want W to have the best chance possible at independence, I want to raise… Read more ›
Aah to be almost 3
What a week. I’m putting the aggressive emotions down to the supermoon as all the other kiddies seem to be suffering simular, so hopefully it’s all up from here. It may well be coincidental and a load of crap but… Read more ›

Global Developmental Improvement
Those are the words you want to hear at a clinical checkup! W is 8 months old, now gaining weight well and most importantly giving us the occasional beautiful whisper of a smile, she smiled for her paediatrician who was… Read more ›
Chickens at last!
I’ve always wanted chickens, I don’t remember not wanting chickens. Once Chops was born it became even more important, growing up with chickens would be an altogether different education that I wanted for him. Yesterday, we picked up our first… Read more ›
Courgette, lentil & chicken ‘cake’
I got leftover chicken, a courgette and a tomato out for lunch, then Chops declared he wanted cake for lunch! Ok, son, cake it is. Here’s my chicken, courgette and lentil cake! Ingredients: 200g butter 100g Puy lentils, cooked Leftover… Read more ›
