beccus that is absolutely outrageous. People are eating???!!! What did she think your baby was doing??? I'm not one for making a big deal out of public bfing for the sake of it, but I get annoyed if someone seems to have a problem with it. I was feeding in a museum the other day and some woman told her children not to look- but not to give me some privacy, more like 'Cover your eyes children, three is something disgusting happening.' I actually think it's the kind of thing that children should see- that their bodily functions are natural Anna beautiful and breasts are not something to be ashamed of but merely there for a mother to feed her baby and for her partner's pleasure.
I would name and shame all the way. The journalists on here will be able to tell you more about defamation law, but I think as it's true, it's a fair comment defence.
smorgs your response was lovely. Your poor friend, that's awful. My best friend had a miscarriage when I was pregnant (she's been trying for years, lots of issues) and understandably she found it difficult to be around me. I just kept letting her know I was thinking her and not expecting a reply til she was ready. She's now dd's 'god'mother (we're atheists).
First that must have been so hard- how awful.
Thank you those who have asked, unpacking is going well. I love our new house but feel very disoriented and odd to be somewhere out of London. I don't understand a world without oyster cards! How do I get on a bus? I need to walk around a bit and go into the city centre which is about a half hour walk to remind myself that I'm not in the middle of nowhere. On the upside people are friendlier here so it reminds me of where I grew up in Yorkshire. DH has gone away to Germany for work for the next 2 weeks so I feel quite lonely in this big house in this strange city 
. It's also odd having this much space. I feel quite paranoid when she's downstairs and I'm upstairs because I'm not used to her being so far away.
Now I'm going to have a gin and tonic in the bath.
