Little Turd

Little Turd

Nicknames… In the passage way outside Jeremy’s bedroom was, what could only be, a turd. Small, perhaps 1-2cm long, and possible as thick was a lead pencil, but most definitely, a turd. I was bemused as to how this came to be. Yes, we had geckos, ugly (although many think they’re cute) transparent pinky white […]

A letter to my boy

A letter to my boy

To Jemery, as your sister used to call you when you first arrived. Thank you for allowing me to be your mum and for sharing your life on earth with me.  For always being there – at the other end of a phone oftentimes, but there none-the less, where ever in the world you found […]

So Live Your Life … and 6 years on

Going ‘public’

Going ‘public’

Hi, Man, this still sucks! I really want to write and be present on here and show up consistently but to be completely honest, lately it feels like if I do stuff on the blog it means I have to think about what happened and acknowledge that he’s no longer here. WTF? You would be […]

Walk Barefoot in the Desert?

Walk Barefoot in the Desert?

Would you ever walk barefoot in a desert in the dark to go and look for scorpions? You wouldn’t? No, neither would I but Gumby would have (nutter)! And until the other night I didn’t think anyone else would either however I watched a pretty interesting program called Fierce where the presenter – Steve Backshall –  did exactly […]

Screw-ups, Slugs & Surfing!

Screw-ups, Slugs & Surfing!

Yo! Hello to you 🙂 You may or may not have noticed that things have been a bit quiet here on the blog for a while. Things have been a little, shall we say, emotional & testing over the last few months & a combination of things have left me missing Jeremy so incredibly much […]

This Momentous Day

This Momentous Day

Today it’s been 2 years since Gumby died. The world still feels shit without him! I was wondering what to write & looking through some old photo’s & papers when I came across a scrap of paper from many years ago. I’d written this down after being incredibly motivated by it in a book by […]

A Brief History of Desiderata

A Brief History of Desiderata

Shoo-eee. I just finished designing the Desiderata poem poster that you can have access to after signing up for our Gumby Legacy Newsletter and I thought I’d quickly look up the history of Desiderata to see how it came about. This poem has been a favourite of the family’s for many years and was particularly […]

All Things Bright and Beautiful

All Things Bright and Beautiful

We’re not a religious family by any stretch of the imagination but this has always been a much-loved hymn sung at our weddings, christenings and funerals! This version has had the words changed specifically with Gumby in mind, by Auntie Jane who knew him well. All things bright & beautiful – adapted for Jeremy “Gumby” […]
