Some years back now I wrote a post called "I see YOU". It turned out to be quite popular and seemed to resonate with other parents. Since then, I’ve seen very similar posts shared across social media. And I’m okay with that, that’s good, because it supports the message intended - that us SEND parents…
Hello there! Apologies for the radio silence, I’ve been busy (mostly procrastinating really) and neglected the blog. My bad. But I’ve popped on today to have a bit of a ramble and share something very important to me…and to lots of others, actually. So if you’re remotely interested, please read on. For many years now,…

So, there’s me – blabbing away for AGES (and undoubtedly boring everyone stiff!) at…
Credit: unsplash Well Tiger, change is afoot and I feel the need to document it. Whilst we’re all prepared, I’ve got very mixed feelings right now – flitting from optimism to dread - as tomorrow I’m having to let go of you a little…again. I’m having to trust strangers to take care of you and…

Here’s The Floret, looking fabulous in her new Children In Need top that she’ll be wearing for school tomorrow. I hope it doesn’t…

I’m sorry any of this isn’t deemed important enough for there to be a review now. I’m sorry that people with a Learning Disability are dying…
I couldn’t let the week go by without doing a post, especially as The (baby) Floret was fed by tubes. I’ve written about this before and mentioned that, initially, it was a scary thing to do. My mum (a former Ward Sister) remarked that, if she’d been in my position, she wouldn’t have been able…
Hello! Happy New Year and all that. I have some exciting news for you. Well, you may already know if you follow us on Facebook, but I'm sharing in case you didn't. There's a new book recently published called Cornelia de Lange Syndrome - A shared journey. Written by families for families. You can purchase…
So, Plan A: Take a short rest from the blog, free up some time, focus on The Book of Broccoli, get it done whilst ensuring I was 100% available for Hannah during her transition (I’ll get to that in a bit). Fabulous, I thought. There was no Plan B. I didn’t need one. 2020…
