The wind chimes clang as the fortnight of showers and blizzards continue. The winter days have introduced dark 3.30’s and chilly mornings. We look over the Avon Valley from our new bedroom window. The flooded plains harbour 23 brilliant swans, and numerous geese. It’s lovely living out in a village. James and I sleep better. [...]
Last Thursday all packed and ready to go, our little family of three jumped onto a plane at the bouremouth airport and headed off to the Preswick Airport just outside of Glasgow. We had been rather excited about the trip for ages, as James used the credit from his South African Return Air Ticket to [...]
The days are getting shorter and shorter as the leaves carpet the ground. There is a dampness about that helps the wind take your breath away. And it is through the development of my Son that I notice this changing season.
Sipping a cup of coffee, reading the paper. You look up and then suddenly he [...]
For those of you who don’t know – James and I have finally set a date for a wedding! It’s going to be held on the 20th March 2007 in Durban South Africa! It has been crazy trying to get the ball rolling, but planning is moving ahead. The great news is that people from [...]
Sage is four months already!!!
He has been waking up 3 times a night lately, and has been very interested in what we are eating – so James and I decided to try him out with his first solids! It went surprisingly well, he gobbled down the baby rice, and really loved making a complete mess! [...]
I haven’t done this for a while, so i thought I would bombard you with a few of our latest pics. Double click to get a closer view ( I hope Sage is twinkling from all of your desk tops )…. the good news is that we received the Home Office letter today, so we [...]

Your perfect little hands curled gently by your face,
Your nose, your neck, your spine, your legs.
You sway with the rush of the world, all but a comforting melody that rocks you to sleep.
Flip flaps, tumble turns and energetic kicks.
Your energy system hums into action, sparkling like tiny faerie footsteps.

And as I swell with your development, [...]
A great thing about being a mum is indulging in baby accessories! Whilst causing James much angst,  I have been ‘investing’ in stimultating baby toys and goodies…. It seems that as the time passes so grows my ability to pick out the items that suit Sage as an individual, and us ofcourse!!
Here are some pics of [...]
Our little Sage is now 3 months!!! We can’t believe how much he has changed and grown! He is cooing alot, and chats with his Nana and FaFa on the phone. It’s rather funny seeing him listening to voices that have no faces.
Sage has a new little cousin Christina – born on the 27th of [...]
