Winter illnesses take it out of us but the pleasure of rediscovering food and the kitchen help to make up for it, I think. I hope playgroup settles down a little and that you get to enjoy the quiet time again. I used to go to one in our local library but it became so busy it was more stressful than calming so I decided to take my leave. With spring coming, a walk or play in the park might be more fin or all concerned. ;) Bee xxthe linen cloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09972816445651003593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435067378873425197.post-19845519930105097862015-02-04T21:13:49.451+00:002015-02-04T21:13:49.451+00:00Glad you're feeling a bit more chipper now.

Playgroups here have been a real lifeline for me as I've met some great people and made really good friends through them. <br />In my old town it was very different - you were either part of the in crowd or you weren't. I was very much the outsider and it was horrible.<br />As for feeling better: I love how the kitchen calls once you're ready to start exploring the cupboards again :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038836502384520598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435067378873425197.post-39810867466296665892015-02-04T20:32:31.649+00:002015-02-04T20:32:31.649+00:00Oh no, I'm about as far from a yummy mummy as ...Oh no, I'm about as far from a yummy mummy as it gets! I think we were just put out that a quiet few hours is now very busy and noisy (and cramped).<br />To be fair nobody was ignoring their charges and all the little ones were behaving nicely.

Can I admit that I'm glad to be past that part of my motherhood experience? :) I hope it works out, it sounds like a challenging environment now. I'm glad you're feeling better.

A good childminder is worth her weight in gold, so cultivate the best relationships with them if you can (and as long as they act like decent childminders; I used to hate the ones who just sat back and ignored their children whatever they did while they drank tea and chatted)Angel Jemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08915392156232711695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435067378873425197.post-60549337613507148962015-02-04T17:47:40.770+00:002015-02-04T17:47:40.770+00:00Hey Sarah,

I made my Dad a banana loaf cake at the weekend. His taste buds have been affected by the chemo, but he really enjoyed it. I didn't think of muffins, which will probably go down well too. <br />Leanne xxLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617604296746784414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435067378873425197.post-29832013744613483492015-02-04T16:48:08.301+00:002015-02-04T16:48:08.301+00:00Hi Sarah Lovely photos, glad you are feeling bett...Hi Sarah Lovely photos, glad you are feeling better.
