I met Cath at ante-natal class; we were 5 sets of anxious first-time parents looking for guidance & reassurance. We formed a tight little gang and have remained friends for 20 years

Ollie was due last but arrived first, followed by Josh the next day and Isabel, Oliver and Georgia shortly after. Cath was a natural mum, nothing phased her and she took all of motherhood’s challenges in her stride. 

We new mums spent a lot of time together, meeting up regularly to compare notes and celebrate milestones. We navigated the toddler years together, graduating to soft play and outdoor adventures - always noisy & slightly chaotic, and always loads of fun. Many happy hours were spent at Willows Farm, mostly in the rain! 

Our lives got busier as time went on, with the kids becoming teens & young adults. Cath continued to be a great friend, always available for a chat or a meet up, our shared parenthood bond meaning we always had plenty to talk about. 

It’s been a pleasure sharing the journey with you Cath, I’ll miss you so much x
