The past few days at home and in the garden

The past 10 days I’ve been away on a bit of a business roadtrip (I run my own small business) around the South West – visiting Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire.  Phew!  It’s been wonderful but exhausting, and I hope to share a few snaps from my trip shortly.

I’m now nearly 30 weeks pregnant…which is like 6 1/2 months, which sounds much more scary than when you count it in weeks.  I have been pleased to get home and rest over the pat few days, back making simple lunches and dinners and walking the dog.  I missed this sight a lot, which if you follow me on Instagram you must be pretty bored of seeing by now!

This is my 29 week bump – everyone I’ve met has commented on how ‘neat’ it is.  For ages I was worried/disappointed that it was so tiny compared to other women at the same stage, but I really love it and since one of my many midwives (a whole separate story) told me it’s because I’ve got a long torso, I’ve just chilled out a bit.

Since getting home I seem to be on a scrambled eggs with herbs binge, eating it almost every day for my lunch.  You just can’t beat a few simple ingredients like these – organic leghorn eggs from the farm up the road, herbs from my garden, sourdough bread, and a bowl of my own grown salad leaves and edible flowers.

I miss blogging

I so desperately want to have the time to write here again – I have a camera full of photos and lots I would love to share, I just don’t have the time.  I think I might pop!

We have, however, managed to plant some seeds last weekend – carrots, salad leaves, beetroot, radish, parsley, and peas…and today we spotted the first green pea shoots poking through!  So exciting!
