Welcome to West Sussex. Welcome to a Sunday "summer" road race. Although, someone forgot to tell the sunshine to join in. It's 13 degrees, the rain is sideways and sending little rivers snaking down the road. Sebastien is currently sleeping, grumpy from his 07am wake up call (although I can't help but feel a...

Lycrawidow and the Mistress
Why lycrawidow? My Twitter page was created some 3 or 4 years ago. Like most new social media sites, my biggest stumbling block was the little box entitled; Username It took a good few days to decide on Lycrawidow, but as soon as that name popped up in my little head, I knew it was...

Teenager’s Mama.
We've been thrown, head first, in to a world we didn't think we would see for at least another 4 years. That is the world of schools. As of now, my husband and I are officially guardians for my 13 yr old sister. A few months back, she turned our world upside down, by announcing... Continue Reading →

It takes a village to raise a baby
"It takes a village to raise a baby" I say this, because, it really isn't something you should do alone. Surround yourself with people that can and will help you! 13 months of breastfeeding. That's how far we've come. (So far) These 13 months have possibly been the biggest learning curve of my life. They've... Continue Reading →

Cheesecake
This is my "go to" dessert when hosting a dinner party, or when invited to BBQ's etc. I've only made it a few times, I tend to be the kind of person that throws it all together and hopes for the best! I also swap and change ingredients around a lot, as I like to... Continue Reading →

Beat the Brain Tumour
5 years post op, and 8 years post diagnosis. This has been hanging over me throughout my 20's...Now, after 5 years of unchanged scans, I only need MRI/CT scans every 2 years. It's not growing/grown since the op, and with every year that passes, I feel just a little more relief, and a little more... Continue Reading →

Mama’s Little Man
As I lay here, in a post coital glow, my mind wanders - to the fire, that, with luck, is now ignited in my loins. To the tiny cells that are furiously replicating, and hopefully, in a few weeks, to that little + sign on a pee soaked stick. My thoughts move from the hope... Continue Reading →

Rage and Sorry.
THUD. I knew instantly. In that split second before he started screaming. I knew that he was hurt. I could hear my husband, "oh shit shit shit" I felt sick as I ran in to the bedroom where they both were, and wrestled our distressed little one out of his father's arms. The rage was instant. It...

Dearest Darling Daddy Mail
Reading emails from my dearest darling daddy, because, well, because I can, and it makes me smile, as I can still hear his voice when I read them, anyway, I found this little gem from him: There are three cats. A british cat called one two three, a german cat called ein zwei drei and... Continue Reading →
