::: Charlie Boy :::

I think Charlie is liking being on the East coast.

He is certainly having more adventures and lots more trips to the beach, that's for sure!

And loves lying in the cool shade squashing all the plants.

::: Still Here :::

Yes, I am still here.

Yes, I am still being sick.

The wonders of being pregnant. 

Ill, ill, ill.

::: Meet Baby :::

Thank you all for your kind words and messages on my last post.

No it's not going to be easy but I need to stay positive for this little baby.

Just look at that face! How could someone not love this little bean already?

I've reached the halfway point, just another twenty weeks to go...

::: New Life :::

So... sometimes life doesn't always turn out the way you want it to. Sometimes things get in the way, sometimes those things are other people.

I have recently become separated from Steve due to the fact he has been having an affair. Yes I was devastated. How could I not be? He was my whole entire life for the last seven years.

But no matter how much a cried or shouted or threw things, it didn't change anything and I've realised that I need to look after me.

My new life starts now.

Unfortunately I've had to rehome my chickens and two of my bunnies. Charlie Brown and Henrick will be staying with me and Lucky will be staying with Steve in the meantime.

This isn't exactly how I'd like to announce my happy news but after two years of ICSI (a form of IVF) we are due to have a baby!

I have this new life to concentrate on as well as an actual new life! So exciting!

Words of happiness are encouraged. I am getting rid of the negative things in my life and looking for the positive.

I will write again when I can. In the meantime please send all the good luck you can spare my way.

::: Bluebell :::

Meet Bluebell.

She is a Bluebell chicken and is my replacement for Spice the cockerel as he was getting too protective of his girls and not letting me near them or him. He is in a new loving home back with his breeder and has lots more girls to keep him company.

Bluebell and Saffron haven't been the best of friends today but I'm hoping they will settle in together along with Sorrel and Sage and become great friends.

::: Happy New Year :::

Sorry it's late!

Lots has been happening around here lately and finding enough time to just sit and write has been hard work. We've had family visiting, work nights out, hospital stays, friends leaving and we've been out visiting people too.

Will update you all soon enough but I hope you had a fantastic Christmas and New Year wherever you are in the world and whatever holiday you celebrated :)

::: Apologies :::

Apologies for the lack of pictures around here nowadays but it seems Blogger only let you upload a certain amount and I have gone over that limit so you will just have to make do with my words for a while I'm afraid.

Frosty mornings are here along with the darker nights, the Christmas tree is up and hot chocolate is being consumed to keep us warm.

What are you up to on these Winter nights?

::: 28 Days :::

Only 28 days to go until Christmas morning.

Today I wrapped presents, wrote cards and even put the tree up and decorated it.

Are you feeling festive?

Inspired by Soulemama. A Friday ritual. A single photo capturing a moment from the week.

::: Stuffed :::

We've been eating lots and lots of cupcakes these past few days.

Living off them in fact.

Stuffed to the gunnels.

Have you ever felt your gunnels before? :)
