All things bean.

It has been a ridiculously long time since I posted anything, in fact I can say it's over 4 months as that's how old our daughter is. The Bean landed on her due date and our lives will neve be the same again, and that's no bad thing.

She is beautiful and good and perfect and no I'm not at all biased, but she does mean I get almost nothing done. P has done all the pruning by himself, except one small parcel across the road and I have managed to start the tying in. I have a new schedule which seems to involve getting up, pumping, feeding and changing etc and then TB sleeps for about 1hr, during which time I rush out and work like mad for that time before coming in for a shower and to do it all again. She's almost having a regular lunchtime nap so I might be able to do some then too... It's also still light after she's gone to bed so could try then too.

We have started to try and write a list of things that need to be done and the order they need to be done in and it's a long and complicated list. P is banging in posts by hand and sorting out wires so I can tie in. I'm as always frustrated by how long everything takes and by just how little help I am.

I naively thought when told that a baby feeds every three to four hours... (Try 2.5) that that meant I'd have three hours to do things in! No chance, I've just time to put yet another load of laundry on and that's it.

Beware clan R'ford... We have a monster list of jobs prepared!

Anyway, I've broken the blogging hiatus and hope to get back into it regularly soon.... But then I hope to be able to do lots of things so... Who knows.
