Blank canvas.

Today is the third snow day. The ground is partially covered in white snow, obscuring the signs of new life underneath, the fresh grass, the budding leaves on the trees, the treacherous bad ice. In many ways, it feels like a metaphor for the new blog, all pristine and crisp and unsullied by human hand.
So, about me. I'm a 31 year old woman living in England. I have four children, no paid employment, a husband and a dog. More about them later, no doubt. I'm a socialist and a feminist, which will probably colour my writing from time to time. Oh, and I like to spend my free time knitting and crafting.
This is not my first blog. The previous installment is at http://sweetandcrunchy.blogspot.com, but these days I'm not feeling sweet and I don't give a damn whether I'm meeting some artificially imposed standard of Attachment Parenting or anything else. I am me. Hear me roar, or purr. I may waddle like a penguin, but that doesn't mean I don't have a beak that will rip you open if I'm in the mood. I can be whoever and whatever I want to be. This journey is not yet over.
