well, all I’ll say is I’ll be following rach’s directions in the not too distant future with regards newspaper seed pots…..
and on the other – the birds are loving the bird cakes. they’ve been out there devouring them, now all i need is a bird book that actually allows me to identify what’s eating in [...]

The garden – progress and happiness
Posted in Veggies, chickens, greenness, happiness, making things! on January 27, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Well, i have spent the week trying to avoid worrying about my homebirth situation and as a result have the four current allotment beds plus 2 out of the 3 raised beds planned!
moving along from what was grown last year i’ve happily rotated (hopefully in the right order…) and have caused Tom to get his [...]
what a week it’s been home birth update
Posted in pregnancy, rants on January 27, 2008 | 3 Comments »
well, the complete crapness of the local maternity services has led to a fairly unhappy week. waiting for phone calls/letters from the Supervisor of Midwives to confirm that she will put support in place for my home birth, deal with the unprofessional conduct of midwives 1 & 2 etc. finally, after hand delivering my letter containing [...]
curtains at last
Posted in greenness, making things! on January 27, 2008 | 1 Comment »
finally i got round to doing the curtains. Thank you so much to Claire who passed these on to me once she no longer had a use for them. in case you don’t know our old cottage lets more ‘the wind’ in than a ‘draft’….
so, claire passed on her curtains, i decided to swap the [...]
Boo really is very intelligent

managed to get out and buy seeds the other weekend, while doing so Tom spotted the ideal birthday present for Boo from one of his friends, so he took a photo and sent it. Paul promptly replied that we were to get it and he’d transfer the money later on.
so, present bought we proceeded with [...]

so, after thinking so much this past week about the plight of the chicken i couldn’t help but wonder about the rest of the meat we (as a nation) buy.
how are pigs farmed in order to produce meat at such ridiculously low prices, and how about ‘right price’ mince and the like?
i did a google search [...]
being pregnant and having a home birth – we’re now 34 weeks!
Posted in pregnancy, rants on January 21, 2008 | 7 Comments »
pregnancy is a natural, healthy state. it’s not an illness. why is it then that so many people think that you need to see a consultant obstetrician when you’re pregnant? an OB is a specialist in abnormal pregnancy. they are trained to sort things out when they go wrong. so why would any, normal, healthy [...]

I read an article recently in The Mother Magazine about paying it forward and decided i might as well join. i don’t currently feel i have lots to offer the community but i do not that i will and that some skills aren’t obvious but are needed – one of the skills cited is ‘listener’ another [...]
The girls week

Muffin started flexi-schooling this weeek, she’s had a great time. The deal was she’d go in Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. She did, and she thoroughly enjoyed every day.
This surprised me as the week comprised tests, tests and more tests. Year 6 are currently doing 2003 SATS papers in order to assess how much ‘revision’ is going to [...]
