Which UK festivals are best for Diabetic’s?

April 18, 2019April 20, 2019 rachelbrown 1 Comment

A few years ago, when planning our summer holidays, we decided to indulge in a summer of festivals. The kids were now old enough to enjoy a relatively high degree of freedom and independence (having been attending festivals since they were young) and we are just about young enough to endure weeks in fields (and […]

Friends for the Weekend

June 26, 2016June 26, 2016 rachelbrown Leave a comment

A clutch of some of our very dearest friends from our old London life have just come for the weekend and hedonism came a close second on the agenda, after the collective imperative to get out with the dogs and bask in the glory of the spring wildflower display that nature is currently laying on.

When in Rome

January 3, 2016January 5, 2016 rachelbrown Leave a comment

We had a marvelous Christmas and didn’t pay too much attention to the rules, as there has to be time off from the regime. That said the roast potatoes were done in sunflower oil, and were deliciously crispy (though I do say so myself) and the vegetables were the centre piece of the table and […]

It’s Christmas Already

December 13, 2015December 13, 2015 rachelbrown Leave a comment

Well, technically it’s not. Mercifully, given my usual state of utter disorganisation, it isn’t for another two weeks. But today was our annual ritual of having the grandparents over for lunch and putting up the tree. Christmas songs blaring out and dog kitted out in Santa outfit, we spent all afternoon festooning the tree in […]

Today is my birthday and (after the usual morning routine of prising two teenage girls out of bed and shoving them out of the front door to start their journey to school) I indulged myself and the dog in an extra-long walk. And what a walk it was. It’s a beautiful, fresh autumnal morning and […]

Mindfulness

August 23, 2015September 30, 2015 rachelbrown Leave a comment

Most mornings I walk the dog for an hour, or more if I have the time. Some days we walk with a friend and her pooch, which is great and filled with chat (unless we are on a very steep bit when we just huff) and others, like today, it’s just me and Noddy. He’s […]

My Personal Journey to Diabetic Freedom

May 20, 2015October 2, 2015 rachelbrown Leave a comment

As my wonderful husband exercised and ate his way back to health, I was stuck in a strange double life of healthy food provider and secret eater. And my weight was slowly, but stealthily, creeping up. And then my very best, dear and gorgeous friend got her breast cancer back and we all saw her […]

Manic Monday

Just another manic Monday

May 14, 2015October 2, 2015 rachelbrown Leave a comment

Just another manic Monday…. …or Wednesday. Most busy families have at least one evening a week that involves everyone needing to be in different places at different times with a disparate set of feeding slots which all need to be catered for by the chief cook, bottle washer and taxi driver. This recipe for a […]
