Away.

I have been away again. On Monday the children and I headed north along the highway to hang out with an old school friend at her farm. There was no wi-fi so no opportunity to blog. Yet happily there was a pool - we spent virtually the entire two days in it.

People who knew me in my youth are always surprised that I have four children as I wasn't particularly maternal back then - in fact I have surprised myself. I have another friend who had her babies before me and wouldn't let me hold them when they were new born. Can you believe that.

I'm back home again now.
