Since Daph become aware that my kitchen is just a walk across what (has this year become) our garden, working without interruption is no more.

Childcare is tricky, eh. My mum helps two days a week, and then Daph goes to the Best Childminder in Essex (genuinely, she won an award this summer!) two days a week too. Thing is, the days my mum helps aren’t very structured anymore. Since dad, it’s taken a while to get back into a reliable rhythm of my mum being able to look after Daph. And, now that Daph has worked out how every door opens, where I am, and that I’m just “here”, she just comes and finds me.

It makes working a bit of a multitasking juggle. Not ashamed to say, if she is sat in the kitchen, the iPad becomes my friend because otherwise I really couldn’t get much done. It doesn’t last long, and often I have to bake a few extra biscuits not just to feed her, but so she can “decorate” them herself with the “off cuts”.

This all said, however tricky it is to manage the “mum are you done yet?”, I’m super aware that this time next year, she’ll be at school. She won’t be disturbing me whilst I work, and I think I’m going to miss that. Also, I’m very aware that I’m lucky to often look up from my work bench and see my mum and her running about the garden together.

I’m always interested to know how other people
manage the childcare juggle. Winging it is how I’d best describe my style!

Someone told me that the summer before they start secondary school, is the last “proper” summer you have with them.

I’m not sure if that’s the case (yet) but I embraced this summer as though it was, and also used it as a welcome distraction to the sh*tshow start of the year we had.

Must we go back to a routine?

When the school routine kicks in, I’m praying to get back to the kitchen “properly”.

It won’t be easy, I ain’t gonna lie. So I’m hoping you lovely lovers of biscuits give me all the reasons to get back and baking with all the joy.

Roll on September. Bake lists are live…💪🏼

My aunt’s birthday is the day after mine, so today, the 5th August.

She forever chastised my mum for not having held on a day so we could have had the same birthday. 😏

Back in December, my aunt - Sinnie - had asked my mum to hold onto some birthday decorations for my birthday this year. 8 months before my actual birthday. Just 4 months before she passed.

I wish I could tell you I didn’t cry yesterday but I’d be lying…

I approached my (big) birthday this year entirely differently to how I would other birthdays. The loss around the table was palpable. But. I’ve learnt this year to embrace those present more than ever, so I am beyond grateful for the love that was there. 💖

I had some incredible cards with essays written in them which did of course, make me sob. Thanks guys. 😏

Daph, Winnie and I went to see Dad together and Daph was just the cutest, which made me cry more. Thanks Daph.

Saw my birthday out with a Hamilton fever-dream-come-true where I cried happy sad wonderful tears, and then totally embarrassed my daughter at the stage door singing to the actors. You’re welcome, Amels.

Here’s to a new decade where my new post-dead-dad-wisdom has created an entirely new approach to life, that is; little time for bu****it and embracing those who love me as I love them. 🩷

Dad was a pain. I stand by it. But he was “our” pain.

He could be so obstinate. And so grumpy.

But he was a wonderful, truly lovely, generous, pain, who although had imperfect moments, was a great dad, and – as I was sure to tell him in his last days – an even better grandad.

We all learnt how to read his moods, how to bend and not break. My mum always said I was his constant champion, even when he did wrong. And she was right - even to a fault of mine maybe. I was very much his little girl. His imperfections – being a pain – was what made me love him even more. I see myself in him in so many ways.

Dad was not perfect. He was in fact, perfectly imperfect. And oh how we miss him.

- except from my tribute to Dad 💙

There are a few bake dates now in July for those end of term teacher gifts or anything else you might be missing, biscuit wise.

Thanks for reaching out and tempting back to the kitchen, biscuit lovers 🫶🏼

I am so sad and sorry to close the shop - again.

I hope I’ll be back in the kitchen soon. And if you have a query, please do still email - sometimes the work is a welcome, sometimes it is too much. Hopefully it’ll prove a comfort soon.

I hope my business can survive what looks like to be a turbulent year.
