About Me

My photo
My name is Jo and I am a single parent. I have two young boys aged 4 and 3. I'm starting this blog in order to keep myself sane and to share my experiences as a single parent. My oldest son is called Charles but is very rarely called that, he is usually referred to as Charlie or Bobbins. He is very long sighted and needs to wear glasses all the time - when he has not broken them of course. My other son is called Leo, but is known as The Bean. He has a mild case of Spina Bifida and also has hydrocephalus, not that you would know that to look at him. My intention is to take a picture every day for a year and to write a little about it. The say that a picture is worth a thousand words and each picture will hopefully represent that day.

Summer Fruits


I love the summer. I love the variety of fruits available. I have eaten so much fruit today and although I have to count the points I really do not mind too much as the fruit is delicious and feels like a real treat.

I do try to eat seasonal and local produce whenever I can as it tastes so much better and I also feel bad about the environmental costs of eating fruit out of season (having to be airfreighted in etc).

So far today I have eaten, pineapple, strawberries, nectarines, raspberries apple and may have some melon later.

When fruit is so cheap and readily available it seems a waste not to eat it.
