Hookhills Village Cherry Pie Fayre

Hookhills Village Cherry Pie Fayre


The weather was warm, the sun was out with a few clouds around, which was perfect really, especially for the amount of children there. We all like the sun to be shining but in the middle of July that could make it a bit too hot for an afternoon spent solely outside. I know for sure my tiny person would have been grumpy if it had been too hot. I still managed to burn only one shoulder,  never seem to get an even tan. I always end up with half a leg or arm catching the sun and the rest of me is so white I just reflect it! 

It was so busy, so many people from around the area and some I didn't recognise. It was so lovely to see a community come together to raise money and enjoy the hard work put into making it a brilliant day. There was stalls, a beer tent, a pimms tent, a stage and lots of activities for the children. 

This was the first Cherry Pie Fayre of, I am sure, many. And this was my tiny persons first Fayre experience. Granted, she is too young to even know what it was or appreciate everything going on around her, but as the years go on she will get more and more out of it and one day she will be the kid jumping on the bouncy castle and demanding another ice lolly!

This was also our first family day out, although Daddy couldn't come. But it was me and my parents, my brother and his girlfriend and her little boy and my Nan. These things are so important to show our tiny people the values of having family around. 

She was, once again, a little angel, the noise and crowds breezed past her while she slept and she finally got grumpy when it was feeding time which then involved her first visit into Hookhills Club (Mummy never went in there for cider before you were conceived, Mummy never drank too much or wobbled her way home from here.....honest)!

I love the fact that wherever I seem to go I bump into people who are delighted to be able to have a cuddle with her. Inevitably I was going to bump into a lot of people here as this is where I grew up for 25 years. 

My favourite local band was performing (3bf) which meant I could dance her back to sleep along to their superb versions of songs. She seemed to like them, I may have to invite them over to sing to her whenever she won't settle!!! 

All in all I was so happy to see my family having such a fun day, they all work hard and they deserve to enjoy themselves and let their hair down! 

Love you all.

Jab Day

Jab Day The day all mum's dread - jab day! The thought of our tiny person being jabbed and hurt is not something we want our precious bundle of joy to go through, but is necessary to keep them well and healthy.  One day she will understand - actually, no she won't because thankfully she won't remember these first few doses of pain.  I wasn't too worried about taking her for them, me and needles don't mind each other and I feel if I keep the same attitude around her when she receives them then hopefully she will grow up with the same view. First appointment of the day is our six week check up, which is actually at eight weeks (?) and I lug her up the stairs in her car seat to the doctors room. The rate she is growing I won't be able to lift her in it soon!!! I need to start doing some bicep curls (with a glass of wine of course).  The doctor was certainly a character and liked to get to point. Dr - "Does she eat, sleep, see and hear?...

Party Girl

Party Girl My Gran's birthday party, I had been looking forward to it so much and it didn't fail to be a fantastic evening! With so many family members there and half of which Mia had not met yet. I dressed her in a beautiful pink and blue dress ready to impress. Me and Jamie didn't really need to worry about what we wore because everyone would be looking at her.  From the moment we arrived she was cradled by loving relatives. The smiles she brings to the faces of the people I love was beautiful, I felt so proud and lucky.  Before I knew it I had a list of people requesting they get the next cuddle with our daughter. "Come over to us next, we want a cuddle?" There I was getting ready for my cuddles, but each time they meant my daughter! She was hogging all the attention!!! Where the heck are my cuddles!!!!  Ha - only kidding! From one relative to the next my baby was going from person to person like 'pass the parcel' but she was loving...

Twinkle Twinkle

Twinkle Twinkle Gazing at the ceiling in a complete trance, my baby was staring at nothing - as you do... I waved my hand above her face, clicking my fingers to get her attention, what on earth was so fascinating?! The lights! She was staring long and hard at the lights! I did the same and then all I could see was spots, she was going to blind herself!!! Okay, a bit exagerrated but if I carried on looking too I sure as hell was going to go blind or get a migraine! This new fascination kept her very quiet. What's the true meaning of quiet you ask? I hadn't known either until I witnessed a countless number of hours of continuous screaming, now I know the true meaning of peace/silence/quiet. It's when your baby finally stops crying and you mistake the moment for becoming deaf. You start tapping hollow objects just to be sure you can actually still hear and your baby hasn't permanently damaged your ear drums. That's the true meaning of quiet when you become a mum. We we...
