Congratulations, and good luck for the months that come. It's momentous, in every sense of the word. I am always amazed by freelance parents, who navigate such a totally unsympathetic system.
Also, pregnant in summer heatwaves is no fun, so sending cooling wishes to you (and maybe to your ankles?)
My kiddo is almost 3 and has been eating Dinner Party meals since we started on solids, so we owe you a big thank you for the fact that anchovies, olives and pasta are firm favourites.
Oh thank you so so much Bekka! This is so lovely to hear and makes me so hopeful for feeding my bub when they are ready! I will be following your example to the letter hoping that the sheer quantity of anchovies, olives and pasta I’ve eaten during pregnancy will also work in my favour xxxxx
Thanks Rosie ❤️❤️❤️ It might not be sensible but we live and learn! Ha. And yes there may well be weaning stuff to come although it might be a bit late for you!
Mat leave in this country is so so hard, I totally feel you. I had one Mat leave subsidised by my company, had a lovely carefree time (except for, uh, that global pandemic..) and another on statutory. In a spectacular run of bad luck, we went into arrears which will be on my credit report for 6 years. It’s grim out there! Good luck and I really hope you get to enjoy your time with baby! X
Good on you, Rosie!!! Congratulations: with your baby as well as navigating all this stuff and taking steps to take better care for yourself. This is not always easy but SO important, and I believe will have a positive impact on the people around you, and even us! I’m sticking by for sure, and wish you a smooth delivery, a very happy and healthy baby and all the love and happiness together with your beautiful family! 😘
As a mama, I'm very much looking forward to your more streamlined content! All your recipes are fantastic, but can be daunting to a new(ish) mum who still loves to entertain, so you're very much moving into my alley! Good luck with everything! Enjoy the snuggles, and if you find a way to bottle that newborn scent, let us know!

Well done and good luck Rosie! Squeezing in an extra 3 months worth of work, whilst pregnant, is no mean feat.
My little one is 10 weeks old, and hasn’t yet enjoyed watching me cook, but hope remains.
I look forward to the dinner party - weaning edition! X

Thanks Lizzie!!! God it’s absolutely diabolical isn’t it. Trying to just accept and not fret but it’s not that easy! Anyway - thank you ❤️
