I had found secret blogging

you write and you do not publish! and then I started journaling again (hence no blog for a long time!) and I have loved the time I sneak into my room once my delish partner arrives home, I lay across the bed or under the covers if it's colder. I think and I write and I write what I think.

This blog journey was about weighloss but it morphed into me finding myself. My inner me that as a Mum of children had been forgotten and surpressed. I love to read, I love to write. These 2 things have brough me much joy in the last months. We have even started a book swap with friends. Such simple pleasures as coming together in an afternoon with all the children (seriously there are about twenty when we all get together!), having a coffee and some cake pouring over books. It's cheap, it's social and I am loving it.

Mr Delish as I call my partner has been so supportive of my new discovery of me, he loves the fact that I'm not that "grumpy cow" (my words) I was before, and that I now value myself, I do not have to be the one who does it all. Mr Delish's daughter has come to live with us, her school was damaged in the earthquake and now has to go to another one. The upheavial for her has been great but she's managed like a trouper. My blended family is for ever changing and I love how it works so well for us, that we managed as adults to communicate so well over our children. I look forward to the holidays together with his, hers, ours, his, hers, theres that are our family.

Well I had better get on with the baking, I found a recipe for crockpot bread so thought I'd give that a go, as well as some biscuits and slice for lunches this week.
