The fact is, my darling readers, that my life has become busier recently than it possibly ever has before! Getting Natural History up and running has been, as you might imagine, terribly time-consuming, then there's Beatrice of course (and how could I grudge her a *moment* of my non-work time? I could bore you with a list of the adorable things she does every day, but I dread the appellation of "mommyblog" so I'll remain silent on these points) who at 21 months (or thereabouts?) is a fulltime job in herself.
And well, that's not all, because I'm pregnant again. Four months, to be precise, and am due to produce a baby of some description (as yet unknown, so far as gender is concerned) in late March next year. I am VERY VERY excited about this and can't wait to have a newborn that I ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH. It will make quite a change...
I read once that there is no point runinng a blog unless you can update it three times a week as I am down to twice a month at this point I am going to come clean and make it official - as of now, Passementerie is on hiatus for the rest of the autumn. I will have a think in the new year and decide whether I can put the time into it then to make it worth your while following me, but in the meantime if you would like to stay in touch I can be found on Twitter as Natural_History and of course at the Natural History blog - http://www.naturalhistory.typepad.com/
Thank you so very, very much for sticking with me all this time. Without Passementerie there would have been no Natural History and for that I am very, very grateful - you gave me the inspiration and the confidence to change my career path so dramatically. Thank you so much and please stay in touch with me - I'll miss you!
