It was Spring by the sea, for a hot minute. 🌊🌷🌼
Our cherry blossom tree is fizzing with candy pink pom-poms and the bluebells, tulips and Alexanders are out in force. Pure joy! It’s so bloody nice to be up and about and walking again after the loss of my mobility with PGP pain during pregnancy. I’ll never take my body and the way it carries me around for granted again. Gorgeous, comfy baby carrier a #gift from @najell_official - have shared more details and ad-aff link on stories.

The Easter Bunny really over delivered this year.

The Easter Bunny really over delivered this year. 🐰🪺🌷Just amazing to have our boy here finally, it’s been a special time adjusting to being a family of four. This is Edwyn, and we are elated - my pelvis especially. Nipples, not so much. ✨🥚👶 Happy Easter you lovelies 💕

It feels wild and wonderful to be soaking up the f

It feels wild and wonderful to be soaking up the final, surreal moments as a family of three (five if you include the dog and A’s pet potato). Not really sure why we crouched for this photo, though?? 😂 Signing off from here for a bit ahead of a planned C Section birth which I’m feeling calm and ready for now - I’m absolutely ready to pop, and really hobbling now due to PGP - and very excited to meet our new beb. Our girl has definitely got a sense of what’s going on and keeps asking for “baby come out now” - which is so sweet, it melts me. The freezer is stocked with goodies and I’m thoroughly looking forward to some chocolate Easter treats and a whopping pizza after the last weeks of GD. Sending you all springtime love and hugest thanks for all your ongoing support and community. See you on the other side. 🌼💕✨

For anyone also going through the accute pain of PGP I highly recommend really trying to get manual therapy from a physio - I was referred after much pleading by my GP and it’s helped loads. I’ve also found @pgpandme @thepelvicpartnership to be fantastic resources and support.
• If you have Gestational Diabetes (which I’m guessing has not been helped for me by my lack of mobility due to the PGP), I got so many helpful ideas and info from brilliant @glucosegoddess that have helped me manage through diet alone.

CHICKEN BRAISED WITH LEMON, WILD GARLIC AND PEAS I

CHICKEN BRAISED WITH LEMON, WILD GARLIC AND PEAS
I love this recipe. It’s the last new dish I’ve created for my newsletter before I head off for Mat Leave this weekend, and it freezes incredibly well, which means it’s also sitting in the freezer waiting for us to enjoy in the sleepless throes of the newborn haze. It’s a real nod to spring and you can find the recipe on my newsletter - link in bio, easily searchable via the shiny new recipe archive which collates together all of the recipes I’ve created over the past 12 months of Substack (and some old faves like the wild garlic and cheddar scones). The archive is divided into seasons and there are so many wonderful ideas for spring and summer. Like many of these recipes - though some are free to access - it sits behind a paywall, because it takes hours to create, test and tweak recipes and shoot them, and also write. If you fancy cooking it, and the rest of the recipes, and joining the lovely community we have going on, you can sign up as a paid subscriber for a whopping 20% off an annual subscription until the end of today. That means you pay £40 rather than £50 for a year’s subscription, working out at less than £1 a week, which is crazy good value. I’ll be pausing payments this weekend which will mean no more new subs for a while, so if you fancy joining, seize the day!

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY!!! 💛 Celebra

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY!!! 💛
Celebrating, remembering and saluting all the women past, present and future who strive and work so hard to make things better across all industries and walks of life around the world today. But also: just ALL WOMEN. Women are so brave, and so strong, and so resilient, because they have to be. They are endless sources of inspiration, motivation and support to me and I wouldn’t be where I am in my life without the ongoing love and community from the incredible women I know.

As a 40yo woman navigating my way through a very challenging pregnancy (this one has been so much tougher than I had ever anticipated, which I will write more about some time), I’m more in awe than ever of what women go through physically, hormonally and mentally in their lives - while also trying to hold down jobs, run companies, support families, look after parents or relatives, campaign for change, be creative... do the cooking, learn and develop themselves - and I say that aware of all my privilege as a white, educated, able bodied, heterosexual cisgender woman writing from peacetime Britain. I’m so thankful to all the midwives and doctors working harder than anyone else I know in an NHS that has been brought to its knees in recent years. Let’s keep holding each other up, and using our power in all the ways we can to make the world a better place for all women. 💛
