#foodiepenpals – January reveal

This month I was paired with Anne over at Random Things Through My Letterbox. I had a little chuckle to myself when I saw her location, as we live rather close, in towns next to each other, and were paired randomly!

Well, I felt it anyway.  But then things started getting bad again.  And then I discovered I was pregnant. After the initial shock, I had mainly good days, but a few I felt down. And then I miscarried. I was sent totally off the track again. As anyone would.  But after the initial upset, everything that had bothered me before, started coming back to bother me again. Total …
