British motherhood

I would like to put up a link Vimax to this post from various blogs. I would be thankful if you could tell me if I can do it freely without offending any of the moderators. If you dont mind, I would have no problem pasting the web sites in question. Have a great evening!

Spooky..I’m a long time reader of your blog and I’m a Dorset girl born and bred, with family now living in Sherborne no less!

In the second pic your cousin looks incredibly like you.

oh my gosh!! my husband and i eat avocado + muenster toast for dinner A LOT!!!!

Oh, a SILVERCROSS! Wow, these are the sort of prams that can be passed down for generations! But, of course, not really suitable for NY…

Lovely photos; the good part about a bad week is that the next one will be better. (I hope) (let’s hope) (I hope I’m not jinxing it!) (I’m bitting my nails now).

Dorset is the perfect place in the world to live, among a few others… I loved it.

That first picture cracks me up – I love it!!!

And Sherborne Abbey, wow . . . be still my beating heart!

My Mum has an old pram like that, and when she babysits she takes my wee boy for a stroll round the block in it….so cute!

My mum used a vintage pram and said it was rather cumbersome to manoeuvre. I’ve seen some lovely ones at auctions and ebay and I think I’ll turn against my better judgement when the time comes because they’re just too beautiful. I know a friend who used a vintage pram as a bassinet, which I think is brilliant.
Does your cousin Livvy use this pram day-to-day, or was it for the special occasion? If this is the pram she primarily uses, I wonder if she could review its ease-of-use for us?

I am currently pregnant with my first child and I would love to read some insights on what is life after your baby is born. Everyone says it’s hard and so tiring… and it scares me so much!
I don’t have any close friends with newborns around me (I just moved from Paris to North America) and I would love some friendly, real experiences!

Thank you for sharing!

Love this idea of early parenthood stories, Joanna!

Love that first picture of the “double pregnancy” !!!
Have a lovely weekend

YAY! i cant wait for the new posts! and i love this so cute and amazing backgrounds in each picture, much love.x

I also wanted to join in with the “what a beautiful pram!” comments, and to follow up- are these available in the states? Where can I get one?

My, oh, my… I’m six years into parenthood, and have eaten more avocado toast than you can imagine!

I just posted a bit about my daily life as a parent, in case you want to check it out:

I can’t wait to hear what you have to say about your new parenting life, because I know you’ll be sweet, funny and real!

on the toast a bit of blackpepper on the avocado and cheese any kind on top is amazing my Dad ,loved it when we lived in Australia it was only when I was older living back in the bitter cold Ireland that I apprecaited just how good it is. Still a fav now I live in beautiful edinburgh!! I love the blog. xx

Hi Joanna, your cousin’s pram is so stylish! We are not going to christen our little bub, but I can’t wait to get our English family together for a naming ceremony. Looking forward to reading about your experiences as new parents. Bon weekend! xx

Looks like a Silvercross pram.
I have a much more modest version and tourists keep asking to take a picture of it!
Now I´m saving it for my grandchildren.

That second picture is so rad and looks awesomely retro! The shoes, the dress, the pram… Like something straight out of the sixties.

That church is glorious! And the PRAM!!! OMG, I want to ride in it.

Love the pram! And love the name Bo. How cool. Can’t wait for your stories Joanna. Avocado toasts:-D That’s hilarious. It’s so important for us women to be honest with each other about relationships and motherhood. It’s wonderful, but its not always glamorous – and that’s part of the charm.

Hope the next week will be better for all of you.

that pram is goooorgeous.

If I ever have a kid I would totally push them around in that!

That pram is awesome! Can’t wait for your posts next week. So funny that since I got pregnant and haven’t been into cooking we’ve eaten A LOT of avocado toast for dinner as well. But it is pretty delicious…
