I’m not going to bang on about this subject because many others do it so much better than me but we started weaning the girls last weekend. It’s all very dull and messy but I just wanted to mention my ‘domestic goddess’ moment the other night.

I trotted off to the M & S food place near us and bought organic (get me!) carrots, apples and sweet potato. Once I’d put the girls to bed I dug out the blender and set to work. A mere hour and a half later a dozen labelled (dates and names – you can take the girl out of the library…) tiny tubs of puree were stacked up ready for the freezer and the dishwasher was full of dirty pots and pans.

In roughly two weeks’ time I’ll be in the supermarket stocking up on jars when the novelty wears off but for the moment I’m basking in pureed mush glory…
