April 6, 2020

[…] last time I shared an Easter crafts post was when Euan painted eggs aged 3. 5 years later, with time on our hands thanks to the Corona virus lockdown, we decided […]

Oh my word, this is unheard of - both boys asleep

Oh my word, this is unheard of - both boys asleep before 8pm! Wow, an entire evening awaits. I'm switching off and plonking down on the sofa with these two. See you tomorrow x

I'm really digging teeny tiny pot plants at the moment!

Hazy evening view of the poppies at Plock Court from my bike. There was a really quiet and subdued feel in the air, as if the poppies had already turned in for the night. Not a single petal fluttering in the breeze.

Scorchio!
I think Euan's got the right idea today. I'm a bit jealous of his reading-in-the-shade time as I hang with my running boy Luca in the field at Nanny and Papa Gs. .
We're giving George some space at home to record piano in peace. Sadly the street ambience of passersby and slammed car doors is thwarting his efforts. Listen out for the next track from The Powdered Earth later today x

What a beautiful find today - the lost tower of Lassington in Highnam, 10 minutes outside Gloucester.

I definitely have a wannabe photographer on my hands. If Euan''s not taking terrific pictures himself he's choreographing mine!

A couple of weeks ago the boys spent half their hour outside on bikes nursing a bee back to strength. Euan had spotted it on the pavement and was worried someone might stand it on it. The bee was too weak to fly and the boys decided to make it a bed of flowers to see if it was hungry. It was, and slowly the bee stumbled from flower to flower. I expect it may still have died after we left it to go home but in that moment I thought "the world would be alright if we put kind hearted kids in charge"

I knew there was a reason I'd not got round to sharing these pics before. Happy World Bee Day 🐝

Luca snipped elderflower heads today to make cord

Luca snipped elderflower heads today to make cordial. Last year we made our cordial with our friend Sonia (see blog post for how). Sonia was our inspiration today having left a bottle of cordial she'd made from this year's foraging on our doorstep. I can't wait to savour the syrupy lemon slices in the bottom of the tub tomorrow (we leave it soaking overnight) .

"I'm on the top of the world, lookin' down on creation,
and the only explanation I can find,
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around,
Your love's put me at the top of the world"

My extraordinary friend Jo shared a beautiful post

My extraordinary friend Jo shared a beautiful post about still birth and infant loss today in honour of 'Dying Matters Awareness Week'. We need to talk more about the experiences that break our heart wide open and make us so fragile we wonder how we'll ever draw breath again. They stencil our heart and we're never the same again. Sadly death will always be a part of our experience of life. .
I wrote this blog post 5 years and 2 children after suffering a missed miscarriage with our first pregnancy. It was not just the pain of baby loss that cut so deep but the fact it had taken over 10 years to even fall pregnant. If you know anyone feeling the pain of a recent miscarriage or despair about ever becoming parents I hope our story may encourage a little hope that miracles do happen.

When I dropped my Weleda donations for ambulance s

When I dropped my Weleda donations for ambulance staff off to the lovely @hashnorat last week he gave me a @playgloucestershire activity bag for the boys. It was full of craft materials, balls and dinosaur biscuits! I pulled everything out and let the boys decide what to make. .
My 8 year old artist instantly started using the masking tape to make a spider web and soon had a 6 legged spider dangling from it (he knows they have 8 but it would have ruined the symmetry to add two more!). There was a white t-shirt in the bottom of the bag and we had some fabric pens here so Euan set to work designing his own Pokémon t-shirt (of course I had to then rummage around to find a plain t-shirt Luca could decorate too). Euan even turned an empty chip cone into a beak and they fashioned super hero goggles out of pie cases. There's no end to a child's imagination when you let it loose! .

I went to the post office to send some packages but didn't realise they close early. It's only the second time I've walked into town in nearly 2 months. Eerily quiet as you'd expect for a sunny Friday afternoon. I expect it will be the same tomorrow morning when I return to send my packages.
.
I saw this on the outside wall of a pub on my walk back home. I love seeing "thank you NHS" signs as they remind me of all that I'm grateful for: for my son Euan who was made and saved on the NHS when he was born after fertility treatment and not breathing when he was pulled out. For my son Luca who was conceived naturally but still helped into the world by the amazing midwives at GRH. For the compassionate care my Mum received on the Oncology unit at Cheltenham General and in her last days at @sueryderleckhampton . I didn't expect so much food for thought from my 20 minutes outside! .

When I started blogging 10 years ago it was to document allotment growing and scrapbook my recipes. Each time I posted something from the kitchen with great enthusiasm I was sure I'd be making it again within months. It turns out it takes years sometimes! .
After the sugar fest that was Luca's birthday a few weeks ago I decided to bake today but using one of my low sugar experiments. Luca has doubled in age since I last made beetroot muffins so we went for a cake this time to distribute to the neighbours. Recipe below
http://nipitinthebud.co.uk/2018/03/23/beetroot-chocolate-cupcakes-less-sugar/
.
I used a packet of precooked beetroot and then upsized the recipe accordingly ie. pack of 4 small beets was 275g so multiplied all of the ingredients by 1.48 to ensure equal baking chemistry! .
The icing was a bit of an experiment too. I used beetroot vinegar reasoning the icing sugar would be that sweet you'd never know. No one guessed! A cake this size wpuld typically have about 200g of sugar, this one has 70g thanks to the natural sweetness of the whizzed up beets and raisins. .

#mumcut
He wasn't sure at first. "That seems like a lot more hair than you said". It wasn't but when you've had long hair since you were 6 it's gonna feel weird. He said he didn't like it and ran off. We talked about how you look and how you feel is an inside job and that with his hair still long enough to tie up he looks exactly the same. He asked if we could straighten it to see how short/long it really was and I said how quick and easy that would be now it was shorter. "Ooh I really like it, actually it's quite cool". Phew!
