…the mutterings of Mummy Sellars…
...we'd love to have you! That's what we said to our family and friends when we left England. We're amazed and delighted by how many of you are actually coming to visit - it's such a treat to spend time with old friends and to show off this beautiful country. Back in March we had … Continue reading Be our guest…
This has been on my mind a lot recently. My insecurities about my own career 'success' were compounded this week by the the myriad (often self aggrandising) social media posts and news features on International Women's Day (IWD) about women who have smashed the glass ceiling before they turned 30, who are changing the world … Continue reading How do we measure success?
This morning we were back to early rising, walking to school, and getting back into work* at our desks in the Sellars's office. The holiday week flew by, as half terms do, but that's mainly because it has been jam packed. After our first visitors left, we spent a very pleasant Thursday evening eating out … Continue reading More half-term antics!

Aside from a quick trip to the GP with Joel on Christmas morning**, we had a gentle day. … Continue reading Fancy a cuppa & a catch up?
Every Sunday, on the way to and from church in Belfast, we pass this post box. It's not very exciting, is it? But this post box has a special place in my heart. It's the first thing I saw each morning for 4 years when I opened my bedroom curtains. It's where I regularly posted … Continue reading The more things change…
We are thoroughly enjoying the usual half-term activities: exploring the local soft play; clambering through the grounds of a gorgeous National Trust property; and having lots of ice cream and cake treats in between meals. Note, it's not raining! And yet, there are constant reminders that we're about to meet our new normal. The purchase … Continue reading Marking time
