Last Thursday Izzy and I went to meet a friend of mine and her one-year-old. It was lovely to get out of the house.

I had help with the buggie from Gav into town with a quick visit to his work. Lots of cooing over Izzy by his work colleagues then off into Hove for coffee and cake.

I found that once I was out of the house I could walk around forever with the buggie. I ended up being out of the house from 8:30am until 4pm!

It felt wonderful just to walk around and I think that will probably become my main form of exercise.

If you are a new mum how are you finding your first few travels out of home?
