questions and answers

one of the worst things about being a mum or a parent is not knowing the answers.  i don’t mean what is square root of a silly big number.  i mean how best to make your child feel more confident or how to deal with any of the numerous issues which arise as they grow up. 

mum friends are a massive source of support and helpful ‘tried and tested’ advice.  And my own mum is my gospel for all things in life.

i suppose we should take comfort that each issue which comes and goes provides us with one more answer to that question.

igloo on the hill

did everyone’s husbands insist on full on skiwear and a 2 hour walk this morning?  wonderfully cold and even more wonderful to stop for a hot drink in Primrose Hill.  the most amazing sight for me was the Hill’s very own community igloo – and yes, they really are warm inside.

friends, family and a donut birthday cake

it’s snowing, it’s cold, it’s one of our favourite 5yr olds birthday today, no further excuse needed.  a lavish tea spread closely followed by a lamb tangine for friday night dinner with fabulous friends.  kids in heaven with donut cake, wii and the thrill of being allowed to ‘stay up all night’.  home by 8pm leaving the cold wind for all those looking for more out of their evening.  nothing more needed in my eyes.
