I post this every year on May 18th, an embroidery I post this every year on May 18th, an embroidery stitched for us as a wedding gift from a poem found tucked between the folds of an old wallet of Gareth’s grandfathers that his parents found after he had passed away penned by his wife. I read it daily as I’m brushing my teeth, and it always helps me to remember the beauty in the ordinary, and what really matters. 
.
9years ago today we got married, in the cow shed on the farm with a leaky roof, straw on the floor and millions of fairy lights. It was a simple, homemade, magic day and it’s lovely to think back about how special it was. 
.
We’re away celebrating for a couple of nights at @bethnalandbec and it’s every bit as blimming wonderful as I’ve been promised by @time_to_deleg8. Let the relaxation (and dancing to 80’s tunes on the record player) commence!
How are your jubilee plans coming along? If you’ How are your jubilee plans coming along? If you’re celebrating with a party, or a guest at one - or even if you just know someone who might not be able to do anything special but would love a little treat through their letterbox to mark the occasion and to remember that someone’s thinking of them, we’ve got you covered with our special gift box of biscuits. On the website for pre orders now! Just pop in the notes section the date you’d like to receive them. 💜
Its the end of #mentalhealthawareness week, and th Its the end of #mentalhealthawareness week, and the theme this year has been loneliness. I know it well. 
.
Through much of our years of IVF and for a while afterwards, I spoke about how it felt to be going through it all quite often. I don’t so much now, I guess partly because time has marched on and it takes up less space in my day to day life, and partly because I’ve learnt, as a self preservation method, to quietly keep it tucked away in a little box somewhere inside much of the time.
.
But I still feel the isolation and the loneliness that comes from not being part of the parent gang. As much as I ‘think’ we’ve accepted our path, and as much as I genuinely see and am grateful for the silver linings of it just being the two of us (and the furry girls of course) the house still sometimes feels so quiet, the space sometimes feels so broad, and i feel like life looks so very different for us than how it does for most of my friends and family, and sometimes that feels incredibly isolating.
It’s all good, I know how to respond to those feelings now, and be gracious and kind to myself (and I’m genuinely fine - mostly) but I think I just wanted to say at the end of this week, that we must remember that loneliness isn’t just about being alone. We can be lonely in a room full of people if our hearts feel lonely, and we can sometimes overlook checking in on the people who seem to be doing okay, the ones who might be the life and soul, the ones who seem to have it all together, because they tell us they are ‘fine’. 
.
I think that’s the mental health message to always always take away isn’t it, that we just never know what’s going on behind the ‘it’s fine, I’m fine, everything is fine’. As @romankemp said in his powerful documentary about the loss of his best friend to suicide last year, instead of just asking ‘are you okay’ once in a conversation, maybe we should be asking twice - ‘are you really okay?’ Just in case.
Our Fathers Day biscuit collection is launching at Our Fathers Day biscuit collection is launching at 7pm tonight. You can pop your order through (and tick it off your to-do list) and we’ll bake, stamp, pack and post your treats to arrive a day or two before Fathers Day. We’ve added a couple of new sets his year, and all our regular personalised round biscuit sets are available in both medium and large boxes (depending on how much sharing might be persuaded!) I really hope you like them! 💕
I love basically everything that @emilypfreeman sa I love basically everything that @emilypfreeman says but this is a quote of hers that I come back to time and time again. I’m happy with ordinary, because even ordinary is full of ‘extra’ we just have to keep a look out for it and notice it. It’s a practice but one that gets easier the more we try it right?
The first half of the year is always a bit chocka The first half of the year is  always a bit chocka block with Valentine’s Day, Mothers Day and Easter in quick succession, and after a little bit of a breather we’ve just put the finishing touches to our Fathers Day collection.
