I'm so terribly sorry.
It has been 7 months since I last blogged and so, so much has happened in that time that we barely know where to begin.
But lets start with the sound of tiny little feet pitter patting their way into our lives once again.
In February we found out that Carla was pregnant. It was the most wonderful and amazing bitter sweet news we have had in a long time. Amazing because we have always wanted a larger family but due to very difficult previous pregnancies we had just taken the decision to have no further children and give all the baby stuff we have to others.
The surprising news means we will now need to do a major restock of items for baby number 3. It also meant that Carla was almost immediately confined to bed where she will remain until the baby is born at the end of October.
It also brought back memories relatively rapidly that I would have to take responsibility for doing everything at home and at work - though last time work was consultancy based admin work for a group of manufacturing business' - this time work would require me to also take on my usual quota and those responsibilities Carla has always undertaken one of which would be MAKING SOAP!
In that time I've learnt how to make soaps, bombs, melts, lip-balms, oils, salts and butters. I've taken soap demonstrations, I've facilitated workshops, made wedding favours and even taught the odd bit of soap-making.
ScENT has, as a result, been taken over by a man! To such an extent I've even booked my first Hen Party. I perish the thought!
Perhaps this in part explains a little of my absence on blogs. Much of the time I would have spent on-line or doing admin has been swapped with the lab. Something had to give somewhere.
Still, I'm back now for a little while and will keep you updated with some of the other things we have been up to.
