I did it 50026 words in 28 days. It was a good thing to do, cathartic and kept me busy and I’m proud of myself.

The winner is….
…. comment number 50, Eva 🙂 Eva, please could you get in touch via the contact page (or I’ll chase you when I get a moment) and let me know your choice of doll and address 🙂 Thank you all again. As a thank you the code patch will give 10% off an order until […]
Fotheringhay
Fotheringhay has such history. Births of princes and kings, sanctuary for a Queen fearing the country was turning against her, a home, the rally and meeting point for a family in a country torn apart by war, the prison where a Queen was held and ultimately beheaded. It probably has one of the most oddly […]
Na….Na….Na….Oh!
I’m trying terribly hard to keep up to date with this but I’m failing completely on writing up the days out we have; we’ve settled into a rhythm of plenty of edu-lising (educational socialising!) with our etc groups ad they are great. The only problem with them for me is that whatever stage of healing […]
It's a computer Jim, but not as I know it.
It is fair to say that I owe the lifestyle we have now to computers. Way back in the mists of time, fretting about how Fran would cope with school, someone pressed a web link into my hand, I discovered home educating and the rest, as they say, is history. Through our clunky old computers […]
Christmas Crafting & Ideas
Last December we called time on ‘home educating normals’ for December as I felt that after years of me being immersed in business during the festive season, the girls deserved my full attention and some old fashioned fun. As it happened, we ended up, through a variety of add on conversations and the sheer joy […]

She had accidentally driven too far with too little fodder and had discovered, to her horror, that she had not brought her sack of everlasting gold with her 🙁 Being an […]
Sparkles and knickers and make up, oh my!
I’m laughing as I write this, because I’ve been offered the ‘health and beauty’ option in this Paypal salary for a year competition. You’d have to know me in real life to know quite how ridiculous this is, as I’m not a make up person, not a perfume person (it makes my skin smell funny, […]
I'd mulch if only I knew how.
This Summer the girls and I dabbled with gardening again. We’d planned to anyway, I had thought it would be a good way to get us all outside in a season I expected to spend with a smallish baby and probably a lack of inclination for going very far away. The way our house is […]
Remembering Remembrance Day
Zoe very kindly spent the morning with my children so I could go to work as we had some things that needed both of us to do. Between us we’d come up with a couple of crafts to do that would keep on the theme and inspire them, we hoped, to think about the day […]
