Still here; still too busy!

It’s now more than 2 months since baby Mia (pictured) was born, and I still haven’t blogged a recipe yet. I don’t really feel like I need to apologise (I’m enjoying time with Mia, working full time, and studying for a degree from home – something I should have done when I was younger like most other people), but here it is anyway. Sorry for not updating the site in a while!
I'm watching you!
I’m no La tartine Gourmande, that’s for sure – Bea was already blogging within a couple of weeks of giving birth to Lulu (and well done to her for doing so!). I honestly didn’t realise how much time out of your life a little baby can take.
It’s important not to lose sight. I still love to eat good food , but hardly find the time to take photographs and blog about it. Just the other day I had a delicious salad of mixed tomatoes (black, green, yellow and red varieties) with rocket and balsamic vinegar that I’m sure would have looked so good in a photograph, if I’d have bothered taking one. Some of those tomatoes (bright orange and super sweet Sungold type) were grown in my conservatory; despite not knowing what I’m doing, they’re coming out just fine and I’ll be doing the same next year.
I’ve been in the kitchen a fair bit recently, too, so I can feel a few recipe posts for the blog brewing. My blackcurrant jam turned out much better than last year (adding the sugar later was the key), and I have a pork bolognese recipe I just need to share with you all. Perhaps more exciting (to geeks like me); I can see hawthorns, rosehips and elderberries growing in a local hedgerow which are just crying out to be picked, when the time is right.
Finally, I haven’t forgotten the cookbook giveaway I promised a couple of weeks ago. I pick (drumroll please)….Jennifer H! 30 years of canned food is way too much. The book is yours!

I was back blogging soon after getting home from the maternity clinic, but that was only possible because our little girl loved being wrapped around me, giving me lots of freedom
Mia looks adorable!!!
No such luck. I’m under the thumb
Mia is a little beauty!
Take your time and enjoy each other!
Mia is a cutie! And I don’t know how mother’s do it. We got a kitten a few months ago and that little thing tired me out for weeks! Mothers are super beings!
On the plus side, Mia doesn’t rip the curtains or chew the telephone wire
Mia is a cutie. Enjoy your time with her!
OMG she’s glorious! Don’t stress about blogging you’ve clearly got a lot on your plate as it is (excuse the pun)! Enjoy the time you have with your girls
Aww she’s a beautiful distraction Scott!
Thanks Julia. It’s so hard dragging myself away from her to come and blog!
She has got beautiful pair of eyes!!
She does indeed! I hope she retains the blue colour and doesn’t inherit my muddy brown eyes…
Aww, she is adorable! If I had a new baby I’d rather be playing with her (and looking after her…) than blogging
What a beautiful baby! Make sure you enjoy the ride – it will pass faster than you could ever believe.
Already going fast. Over 2 months already, where did that time go?
hehe….oh comeon…babies … styling gel…as they will obvi start using em once they are 3…trust me
Your little Mia is so cute. I don’t know how Bea and you have time to both be blogging and taking care of your site. Congrats to the super-mommy. Look forward to reading you more (and more about baby girl Mia)
As interesting as Mia is to me, I’m sure the blogging community would get bored after a while!
Aww, look at that beautiful face, she’s lovely!
Thankyou!
Congrats! What a beautiful little girl!
Thankyou – I agree

Baby Mia!!! Oh what a beautiful little girl you are! Those chubster cheeks— CUTE!
I’ll agree with that. She looks like me in a lot of ways but thankfully is a hell of a lot better looking!

Great to take time to focus on your little one…the blog can wait..I agree…
