I slept with the telephone…
Yep, I took the phone to bed and kept it on the pillow next to me all night. Why? Because that is what this Mother does when her daughter is about to give birth.
Veronica rang yesterday (Tuesday) to say that she had a bloody show and that she was a touch crampy. My energy levels [...]
Weekly Winners.
The first photo this week is for Lotus. I picked some roses from my garden today and I took them down to the river. I said a prayer for all the angel-babies in the world and I watched as the roses floated out to sea…

Free Mammograms for Jane.
Jane McGrath died yesterday. Sadly Jane lost her ten year battle with breast cancer and the resultant secondary cancers. The news of this extraordinary woman’s death made me very sad.
Suze from Frippery has written a lovely post about Jane. I just want to ask can you please click the BreastCancerSite.com button please? Two [...]
