Real Life – If It’s Broke Fix It

On the 1st May 2014 I am withdrawing my book A Modern Military Mother – Tales from the Domestic Frontline. If you want a copy for prosperity, then you need to seize the day and buy it now because once it’s gone, it’s gone forever. As it is print on demand and I think there are only around 250 hardcopies in circulation it could become a rare commodity. The first edition is no longer available so if you have one of those then hold onto it. The version on sale currently is the 2nd edition, but this also will become a limited edition after the 1st May 2014.

All of the reviews good and bad will disappear and I will be wiping the slate clean and starting again.

I am going to re-release an extended version of the book under the title ‘I hate housework’ by Clare Macnaughton. The date is yet to be confirmed so watch this space.

If you are a feminist, working mum, who juggles career, home and family – then this book will appeal to you. Most of the readers that empathise with my book are strong women who are under no illusion about how tough it can be for women at the coal face of life. They are the sort of women who pull no punches. They don’t always agree with everything but they agree with something, somewhere in it; but more importantly these readers respect my right to my opinion even if it doesn’t mirror their own. Out there in the big wide world are plenty of women who are not bound by the incarceration of antiquated process and practices which stifle the evolution of military life. Adaptation is the key to survival and change is inevitable whether the ‘old guard’ like it or not.

I have now drafted 22 pages of the play ‘Opposites Attract’ and have submitted it to Salisbury Playhouse in the search of Original Drama from the South West. Yes, everything is based on my life experiences and until I have exorcised my need to tell this story I will continue on.

Opposites Attract by Clare Macnaughton

Opposites Attract is a play set in the late 1990s; about a young independent hedonistic, feminist woman, Alice, who is hungry for adventure and challenge, but is injured with a broken leg and therefore, has to be patient to heal. While she is healing she has a blind date with an RAF navigator, Hagar, who is based in Northern Ireland during the ceasefire. Both bored and trapped by their situation, they fall head over heels in love and embark on a long distance relationship with snatched visits, long, love letters and phone calls.  As the relationship evolves Hagar is offered an opportunity to fulfil his dream and become a pilot. They decide to buy a house together although they will only see each other at weekends as he will be doing intensive pilot training.

Hagar becomes a pilot and is posted to RAF Odiham to fly the Chinook helicopter. He is soon sent on an eight week exercise onboard the helicopter carrier, HMS Ocean. The ship stops in Istanbul for a few days and Hagar goes to the Grand Bazaar and buys Alice an engagement ring. During this trip Hagar’s parents send an email to him, which crashes the ship’s communications system. Whilst on exercise, war is declared in Sierra Leone and HMS Ocean is sent to stand off the coast, which extends the separation between Hagar and Alice. By the time they arrive a ceasefire is called. He returns to UK and proposes to Alice on bended knee. It’s not the end; really it’s just the beginning.

This play is told via dialogue, character interaction, hand written letters, emails and telephone calls. It is centred around two characters, Hagar and Alice. These characters are based on Kai and I. This is the story of how we met. But really, it is a love story because when we first met when fell head over heels in love with each other, so really it’s a story about love.

This week I was a guest of the Real Women show on the Bristol Community Radio statio BCFM Radio. It was a fantastic, multi-cultural experience which demonstrated to me the trials and tribulations which women face unites us across all cultures and races. But it also shows me that we have a long way to go before women are truly free.

Friday Night Family Pizza & Film Night

Friday night is pizza and film night. The kids have swimming lessons on a Friday, so after swimming I grab a pizza and we come back, light fire and choose a family movie that we can all watch together. Being together as a family is important to all of us and we cherish these Friday nights. As an extra special treat, we sometimes go to Dominos and buy our pizza take out. Hagar has the app on his phone so we have time to think about what we want and plan our order. It’s very user friendly, especially as we have to collect as we live in the sticks. The kids are firm Margherita pizza eaters, but the Menace loves hot dogs so she absolutely loved the Dominos hot dog stuffed crust. She was in pizza heaven. Hagar loves a Hawaiian and meat feast so the half and half is just perfect for him.

 

The Grenade loves the cheese stuffed crust. I like my pizza hot and crunchy. I find the doughy crusts completely overwhelming so I elected recently for the American Hot Thin & Crispy. It was the best Domino’s pizza I had eaten. I can really recommend it if you want to focus on the topping. If we are really pushing the boat out then we will have dough balls, ice cream and cookies. Blimey, we become stuffed crusts ourselves after eating that.

Eating the pizza is the easy bit. The hardest part for us is finding a film we can all enjoy. We are family of four different types, so somehow finding the middle ground is difficult. Fortunately, we have just bought a smart TV and so the range of films is amazing as we have Netflix and have recently just added Amazon Prime. The best part is that it has some of the old school favourites that Hagar and I used to watch as children and so we can re-live them all with our children. We have to be careful though because  The Grenade will not watch any old films if the film quality is not up to scratch. Isn’t it funny? I can’t imagine being so particular at 10 years old. I loved the classic black and white films. I would spend rainy Saturday mornings watching Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire on BBC2. We have so much choice nowadays and still it’s not quite enough.

Meat Lovers Love Marco’s Steakhouse Pubs

The Horse and Groom officially re-opened its doors under the expert stewardship of Marco Pierre White last year. This picturesque 16th century pub has undergone an intensive “Marco Makeover”, with every square metre – from structural changes, flooring, furniture, lighting and furnishings to textures, colours, sculptures, pictures and photographs – carefully designed by Marco to make the most of its original features and to create a variety of eating and drinking areas to suit every occasion.

General Manager Katie Pasternakiewicz heads up a warm and friendly front of house team, while Marco’s Head Chef James Philipson delivers the exceptional standard and consistency you’d expect from a Marco Pierre White establishment.

The Horse and Groom is Marco’s seventh Wheelers pub, each one bearing the hallmark of MPW but maintaining a character all of its own. His vision, shared by his team, is to create warm and charming places where you can be fed good honest food and served a decent pint or drink of choice at a price point that is affordable, whether it be a Birthday treat for Mother, a catch up pint with friends, or a romantic treat for your lover..

The new steakhouse concept at the Horse and Groom is simple yet wonderful, as you can imagine. Marco Pierre White teamed up with Royal Butcher Donald Russell over ten years ago. Donald, like Marco, is a perfectionist when it comes to his beef and will only select from cattle purely fed on a natural, grass-based diet. The result is succulent, tender and award-winning steaks with unmistakable flavour time after time which is vital when you have one of the greatest chefs of all time checking for consistency across his portfolio of pubs, inns and country hotels.

The refined Horse and Groom menu includes an 8 oz fillet, 10oz sirloin, rib eye and rump as well The Butchers steak (yes it really is the butcher’s choice) and a 16oz T-bone for those larger appetites! There’s also a selection of MPW classics including his famous breast of Barbary duck, Rump of lamb à la dijonnaise with gratin dauphinoise, roasting juices and fillet of organic salmon – you can even still dine on fresh Dover sole if you place your order 24 hours in advance. In lieu of hors d’oeuvre, Marco has created a range of fresh and delicious salads for you to enjoy ‘on the house’ while you’re waiting for your perfectly cooked steak. To finish you can choose from a range of refreshing sorbets, glaces and granitas, while cheese lovers can linger over a whole baked vacherin or brie with an ample pile of artisan crisp breads.

Marco’s steakhouses can be found at Wheelers of St James

Real Life – Happy Monday Loving Life

The forecast is saying 10 days of glorious sunshine. How delightful. We need the sun to dry up all the rain. This winter may not have been very chilly but the soggy, wetness has been relentless. I feel like I have been living in a swamp. I am getting ready to spring clean and I am now preparing to move onto the next stage of living more sustainably.

Hagar and I found a free 10 ft greenhouse on pre-loved so he hired a van and collected it. Now, the foundations have been prepared and we have to begin the giant jigsaw puzzle of assembling a greenhouse with no instructions. It’s a good job we are separated – what marriage could survive such an endeavour. We are also on the lookout for some railway sleepers so that we can make some raised beds. We need to get a move on as the greenhouse needs to be up so that I can begin propagating some seeds, which when grown will be placed in the raised beds.

We are trying to work out how we keep the chickens, ducks, birds and butterflies away from the crops but at the same time keep them exposed to the rain so that the elements can help with the watering. But we have to take it one step at a time. First, we have to erect the great glasshouse without incident. Watch this space.

The question is now, what to grow? I only want to grow food that everyone will eat. Plus we have a large vegetable patch in the pig area that I am hoping to grow, larger, more hardy vegetables such as potatoes, maize, and green beans. I feel a little overwhelmed by the choices. I went to the a potato show at Codford Village hall and discovered over 80 varieties of potato – it was like wine but potatoes. Some of the varieties date back to 1918. I didn’t buy anything. It was too big a decision. I need to get the greenhouse up first.

We are also on the lookout for two weaners – ideally Oxford Sandy and Blacks. Of all the pig breeds we have tried these are our favourites. Again, if anyone knows of any weaners for sale, I’d love to hear from you.

On the home front life ticks on. I have been wryly amused by Bulford Buttygate – where Major General Cowan wrote a damning indictment of the military’s reluctance to adapt in an email on etiquette and manners. He may have egg on his face; but it will, of course, be a storm in a teacup, and he will continue to be an obstinate, old ass, who will most likely become more resolute in his rightness. The change will happen around him, regardless of what he thinks. I hope the military wake up and smell the coffee. Times are a changing, and if the leaders of the military can be agile, flexible and open to change then they will find it less painful. But you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, and so, we have to wait for the new dogs to become the old dogs. Even if I look at Hagar’s generation of officer contemporaries, who are the old dogs of the future, I can see that they will fall into the same trap as Cowan. They are not smart enough to exploit social media because they don’t want it. Some hate Kindle and want everything to be about physical books. They fear technology and don’t embrace the potential it offers them if they are wise and absorbing. They will ache in the face in change, because agility and flexibility is the key to change, and there is still something about elements of the current military that is backward, stubborn, stiff and rigid. I am secretly rooting for them. Turn again military. Evolution is the key to survival. But as Douglas Adams wrote in Life, the Universe and Everything it is somebody’s else problem.

“The Somebody Else’s Problem field is much simpler and more effective, and what’s more can be run for over a hundred years on a single torch battery. This is because it relies on people’s natural disposition not to see anything they don’t want to, weren’t expecting, or can’t explain.”

― Douglas Adams, Life, the Universe and Everything

The kids are evolving beautifully. How far we have come in the last ten years. Parenting is by far the toughest gig in the world. It carries so much responsibility and it is enduring and endless. The Grenade is now ten years old and he knows everything. He is full of back chat. For me it’s about balancing his omnipotence with management and co-ordination. I don’t want to quosh his spirit; but sometimes I need him to do as he is asked. His current obsession is Jurrasic Park Builder and he is very involved in the day-to-day management of his Jurassic safari park. He is still fanatical about dinosaurs and is definitely a natural scientist. He loves documentaries and nature films. In September, he is going to secondary school. I am very excited because he is going to my old secondary school. Hagar and I attended a parent’s presentation and we were both impressed with the business like manner of the school. How far it has come in the last 20 years. More importantly, I think that it is the right school for The Grenade, he is too progressive and leftfield for the conservatism of the independent system and I think he will thrive in a more progressive school environment. My old school has the good cross section of society and it will help the Grenade develop and find his own way. It will help shape who he is to be as an adult. As a parent I couldn’t be prouder of him. He is insightful, funny, kind, strong and as his confidence grows I know that he will make a valuable and earnest contribution to the planet. I am very excited for him.

The Menace has been slow to grasp academia. But she is finally beginning to blossom. She is much more confident and chatty. With people she doesn’t know she is still very shy but I am not concerned about her cautiousness. She loves being in the garden, tending to the chickens and collecting the eggs. When I cook, she cooks with me and stirs the food. She loves to chop and chat. We make cakes and biscuits together. She climbs trees and gets muddy, but then she also plays with dolls. Whatever we do she is there, wanting to be involved with her sleeves rolled up.

This weekend, in the glorious sunshine, while I was baking a victoria sponge cake, with fresh cream, raspberries, strawberries and grated cacao; I came into the garden to find the kids sliding in mud, underneath my washing line, ladened with freshly laundered clothes. They were in kiddy heaven, and although it was mission to rinse them down once the fun was over, it was marvellous to see them giggling freely and loving life.

For the first time in a long time, I am loving life right now. I feel like we are back on track and that we have a future with some stability for the short term. In the long run, who knows what choices I will make. This winter has made me really think about climate change and finding a location to live that won’t be flooded, that provides the resources we need to survive and to invest in renewable energy. This place is not where I am now that is for sure.

Barbaric Baguette Eating Banned at Bulford Army Camp Officer’s Mess

Oh no Hagar can’t have sandwiches for lunch anymore. I had heard about this infamous email beforehand and I have mixed views about it. I think manners are important and it’s useful to understand the more appropriate models of behaviour and maybe this should be delivered at formal functions when receiving delegates from other nations, or any other ambassador based networking, such as with other services, local communities, etc, etc; but should not be so closely adhered to at informal dinner parties. I would consider an informal dinner party at a senior officer’s house to be a relaxed environment where your deportment wasn’t so strictly judged. As a spouse, I wouldn’t expect my behaviour to be professionally judged by my spouse’s professional peers. At the end of the day Hagar should be judged on how he well he delivers military effect and not whether his wife writes an excellent handwritten thank you note.

I believe a modern, professional military to be capable, efficient, productive and effective and the professionalism of the service should not be judged on whether an individual eats a sandwich at lunch time with his or her fingers.

See this article in today’s Telegraph

Here is the article:

“Sandwiches have been banned from an officers’ mess after a commander noticed many soldiers were eating them with their hands as he insisted “a gentleman or a lady uses a knife and fork.”

Major General James Cowan issued the note after he noticed officers were eating sandwiches with their hands and failing to stand when commanders entered the room.

His three-page letter criticised standards at Bulford Camp in Wiltshire where he said he had seen a many “frankly barbaric” techniques and habits displayed by soldiers and officers.

The note, addressed to ‘Chaps’, said: “Quite a few officers in the divisional mess seem to be under the impression that they can eat their food with their hands. The practice of serving rolls and sandwiches must stop,” the Sun reported.

The letter penned by Maj Gen Cowan, who is in charge of 20,000 soldiers and 2,500 officers in 3 UK Division, most based at Bulford, also criticised poor grammar and writing, advising against the “wanton use of capitals, abbreviations and acronyms” because they can leave the reader exhausted.

His note gave a string of etiquette tips.

Maj Gen Cowan advises on the correct way to use a knife and fork, saying “holding either like a pen is unacceptable.”

On the subject of marriage, he is equally direct, advising officers never to sit next to their spouse at dinner or risk showing insecurity. He also clearly outlines that he expects a junior officer to “make an effort at conversation” with one of their superiors.

A spokesman for the Army insisted the three page note, where Maj Gen Cowan also suggested soldiers should stand up when commanders enter the room, was meant to be taken as fun.

They said: “This note was part of a light-hearted correspondence between a commander and his officers about an expected code of behaviour.”

Maj Gen Cowan’s six tips on etiquette:

* Sandwiches

“Quite a few officers in the divisional mess seem to be under the impression that they can eat their food with their hands. The practice of serving rolls and sandwiches in the mess is to stop. A gentleman or lady always uses a knife and fork.”

* Dinner party

“A good party relies on good conversation. This requires you to come prepared to be free, funny and entertaining.Thank you letters are an art form not a chore. It is generally considered better manners if the spouse is the person who writes.”

* Knife and fork

“The fork always goes in the left hand and the knife in the right. Holding either like a pen is unacceptable, as are stabbing techniques. The knife and fork should remain in the bottom third of the plate and never be laid down in the top half.”

* Officers

“Ten years ago, officers would stand up when the commanding officer walked into the room. This doesn’t happen any more. I expect a junior officer to make an effort at conversation. Start by introducing yourself and talk on any civilised subject outside work.”

* Successful marriage

“I recently went to a Burns night, spoilt only by a curious decision to sit husbands next to wives. The secret of a successful marriage is never to sit next to your spouse at dinner, except when dining alone at home. It displays a marked degree of insecurity.”

* Grammar

“In common with officialdom the world over, military writers love to use pompous words over simpler language. Combined with underlining and italics, the wanton use of capitals, abbreviations and acronyms assaults the eye and leaves the reader exhausted.”

Guest Post: Five Top Tips For Restoring Order To Your Wardrobe

When you’re a busy parent, the last thing on your mind is organising your clothes! However, trying to put together an outfit from a messy mountain of clothing first thing on a Monday morning is not only stressful but it takes valuable time away from your routine.

Here we look at a few tips on how to streamline your wardrobe and restore order.

Create the space you want to see

While it’s tricky to create a designer space without a complete construction overhaul, you can certainly smarten up the contents of your wardrobe in just a few simple steps. Ditch those wire hangers that spoil the lines of your clothing along with cheap plastic ones in favour of a uniform selection. If you can afford it, wooden hangers are great for adding a touch of high-end glamour to your wardrobe whilst preserving the quality of your clothes.

Invest in quality pieces

Everyone has their own sense of style but if you are looking to make a sartorial investment, then opt for a few quality pieces from reputable stores. For a lovely selection of staple knitted pieces which wash brilliantly check out Edinburgh Woollen Mill’s ladies clothing.

It’s also worth considering investing in vintage clothes as these are often made from expensive fabrics designed to see their owner through several years.

Impose some order

First, group your clothes by type. This way, when you want to wear a certain long sleeved blouse you haven’t got to rifle through your entire collection to find it!

Secondly, group items by colour. Obviously this approach isn’t an exact science but a sense of order should start to emerge fairly quickly. It will also make it apparent which areas in your wardrobe are overstocked so that you can cut back.

Recycle what you don’t wear

Besides all the virtuous reasons for getting rid of clothes (to save space, protect the environment, donate to charity etc) the fact is, if you get rid of some clothes, you can buy lovely new ones!

Although the general rule is ‘if it hasn’t been worn in six months donate it’, the fact is it can be difficult to monitor the activity of your wardrobe to check when clothes have reached their expiry date. To help, put all of your clothes on hangers facing backwards. When you replace it in the wardrobe after wearing and washing it, hang it so it faces forwards.. Six months later, you’ll know exactly what is worth keeping!
