Some weeks, I’ll be honest, it can be a struggle to find something to blog about. My life isn’t that exciting! For the first time, today I am going to inflict two posts on you. As promised, a little later I will post day one of the To Siesta Key….and Beyond Tour 2017. Before I do though I have important news to share with you all.
Rebecca is expecting! She and Tom are beyond excited and delighted and we couldn’t be happier about it. This lovely news is now finally sharable with you all after she announced it earlier this week having hit the twelve week milestone.
Everyone’s joy is doubled as this journey has been a rocky one. I share this with Rebecca and Tom’s permission of course, but the past fourteen months or so have been a roller coaster for them and everyone close to them as they have suffered the agony of three miscarriages. I cannot explain here the heartbreak this has involved and if you remember me alluding to crappy stuff going on in recent times, then a lot of that was related to these events.
Anyway, enough of that. Now is the time to look to the future and the journey Rebecca and Tom are starting on with Thing 1.
It is also Rebecca’s birthday today, and we’re having a little family gathering to celebrate her special day. Happy Birthday pud!
At some point around early November your own little pud will arrive and your life will change forever, nearly exclusively for the better! 🙂 Enjoy every minute.
Till the next time…..

Thanks Lesley. Still not quite used to that title 😳
Lovely news. Imagine a 4 generational photo in front of the castle
I’m up for that 👍
What fantastic news, as someone who went through IVF and a miscarriage I can so sympathise with a “crappy” time.
So the new trips in a few years will take on a new perspective and will require a much bigger back pack!
Congratulations! When did that girl in front of the house door suddenly get to be a mother, oh my the years do fly.
