On Not Being New Age

I just wanted to make it clear to anyone reading this that Cave Father and I are not ageing hippies or new-agers or whatever you call them. But, as a bit of background, here is what we are. We are normal people who generally try to fit in with society as best we can. We are open minded and like to research our decisions carefully. We try not to be overly influenced by trends and fads. We try to minimise the damage we are doing to the planet (walking, riding a bicycle, recycling, that sort of thing - but not reuseable nappies!). We are basically a standard couple who, confronted with a distinctly needy baby, are deviating from the standard rules of British baby raising.
