Welcome to blog! I started it in 2020 to chart my recovery from breaking my ankle (hence the name). I guess no-one saw a global pandemic coming. It's turned into a place where I can talk about the things happening in my life, my horse and my cats. Enjoy!
All seems right in the world when I’m behind these ears. That’s for sure. It also helps to have great company, interesting conversations and sunshine!!
It’s been a bit of an odd week all told. Not my best. But far from my worst. I saw a display of Mother’s Day cards in the shop. It suddenly hit me that I will never have to buy another Mother’s Day card. Such an odd feeling…
Grief really is a strange process. So unpacking things slowly and kindly. The sunshine definitely helps…
Today isn’t one of my favourites. Mother’s Day is a bit of a weird one for me. For many reasons. But we all have our stuff, right?! Don’t get me wrong, I’m very grateful that my Mum is still here. I know so many people who’ve lost theirs. It’s just tough.
Mum is now in a nursing home. It’s sad, but totally the right thing for her. It’s a massive change for my parents. They’ve been together since 1966. That’s a long old time.
I haven’t had a chance to go and see her yet. I will. Hopefully she’ll be in good spirits.
It’s been a weird week. I feel like I’ve fallen into an episode of EastEnders (or should that be PipEnders) with the twists and turns. Nothing I can’t handle of course.
As we were out for a hack, I saw my first lamb of 2024. It was all legs! Another Mum to be celebrated.
So tonight I raise a glass to all the amazing Mum’s – past, present or future. You’re amazing.
I spend the day with my boys. I may not be a Mum in the traditional sense, but I love my boys nonetheless.
Happy Mother’s Day to everyone. I spoke to my Mum earlier and she’s looking forward to seeing me on Tuesday.
This made me laugh. I do find that I’m sounding more and more like my Mum. Anyone else?
