Doh Ray Me, Me So Far

I have only discovered blog world in the last year or so and I love reading the blogs of others. The window that others give on their worlds is fascinating, inspiring, generous, moving and thought provoking and I just love it. It’s a very intimate world in lots of ways and I guess that through their blogs you might get to know someone in a way that you may not in real life. Certainly the possibility of relative anonymity gives way to the opportunity to share deeply and honestly. Maybe not everyone does that but I like to hope that most do.



This blog is very new so it seems logical to share a little of me at the very beginning. Me So Far……


• 40 years old
• Since 1990 I’ve had a varied career touching on non-profit organisations, children’s services, advocacy, philanthropy, refugee and immigration support and politics.
• 1997 – married
• 2003 – divorced – he wasn’t quite the prince I originally thought 
• 2004 – Met the Captain – we met through online dating and it was pretty much love at first sight.
• 2005 – The Captain and I begin to share a home
• 2006 – Our big trip to Europe including Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland, Czech Republic
• July 2006 – Learn that I am pregnant – with twins conceived in romantic Paris. Much rejoicing.
• August 2006 – One of our twins leaves us to be an angel.
• February 2007 – The Batsman is born, all 5lb 3oz of him – he has a difficult beginning but is now the most robust of toddlers.
• August 2008 – We learn that I am pregnant again with a much anticipated sibling for the Batsman.
• October 2008 – Our precious babe leaves us to become our second angel.
• December 2008 – Pregnant again…..blessed and lucky and terrified
• August 2009 – The Bowler is born after an anxious but largely problem free pregnancy. At 8lb 11oz he is a much heftier babe than the Batsman.


• The future? Mum, partner, blogger, reader, cake decorator, cook and maybe a whole lot more.


Thanks for reading
