A bright day with a cold breeze.
Motherhood means...
...realising suddenly that the garden you dug out of the campo seven years ago - pregnant and feeling it - has ceased to be a burden, a blot on your conscience, a toddler deathtrap, and has become, miraculously, a living playground and unparalleled learning resource.

You were a very ambitious pregnant lady. But I guess that fits with your whole Italian adventure, doesn't it? Lovely that the garden is now available for the kids. My grandkids have learned a lot already just from playing in my garden, and soon we will plant some things they can enjoy growing.

That is a lovely thought! Mine is still a little too much work for me at times. I need to readjust my attitude!
