Baby Brynn

I just love having a newborn in the house again. This time I've given myself time to relax and enjoy bubba. I've spent the whole week just feeding and enjoying Brynn. He arrived on Monday 22nd April by c section at Nuh and i was allowed home on Wednesday afternoon, which was a relief.

Brynn is a very relaxed newborn, feeds every 2-3 hours (normally closer to 3). Then he has a short period of quiet alert, followed by sleep until he needs to eat again.

Paul is being brilliant - chief child carer, me helper, photographer, cake baker, grocery shopper, Brynn burper...to name but a few of his roles over this past week.

The girls are loving their cuddles with Brynn and take them whenever they can. They've both been vomited on. Tasha's response "Don't ever do that again Brynn! " and refused to hold him the rest for the day. Pippa responded with a laugh and treated it as a badge of honour!

I am healing well and have been enjoying visitors and even an outing to Formosa Taiwan porridge for a ban mian yesterday.

#plasticfreejuly

In the spirit of reducing plastic this month I've made a couple of great discoveries. A local (NZ) meat and milk provider, that I've been using for a couple of years on account of them selling milk in glass bottles which they collect and reuse, has started selling their meat in compostable packaging. Their meat also just happens to be mighty tasty and they deliver to your doorstep. A great way to reduce 5 or 6 plastic meat trays and associated cling wrap each week. This company are also great to deal with online https://eketahunacountrymeats.co.nz/  

Barra brith and being blessed

Barra Brith They say you start 'nesting' when you are pregnant, well, it's true - I've been into baking these last couple of weeks. Today I decided to make Barra Brith (Welsh tea loaf) for my colleagues, since it is my birthday. What a disaster! First it overflowed, surgically welding itself to the intereior of our oven, then it burnt on top whilst remaining raw on the inside, then it rufused to be extracted from the loaf tin. I wouldn't be surprised about any of this with my track-record in baking, but I made exactly the same thing using exactly the same recipe last week and it was 100% successful. It still tasted great though - once I managed to extract it from its tin. I'm not, however, looking forward to dealing with the oven! That can wait until the weekend. Hard times I've had a number of emails from friends recently telling me of the death of close friends and accidents that people have had; it has made me realise just how fortunate and blessed we are...
