A Blue and Very Relieved Post

Noah made his entrance at 2.35 on the morning of New Year’s Day, the first baby of the year at Colchester hospital. He was 12 hours old and back at home having a cuddle with Grandad and Big Sis when I took this photo.



I could say so much more, about the severe problems facing maternity services in this country, about rediscovering the calming properties of knitting, about worry being the best diet aid there is, but I’m not going into one of my waffles.

My next post will be about writing – mwahahaha – you have been warned.
