I’m not really here much, but it isn’t for any particularly good or bad reason. We’re very busy at work and I’ve been there every day this week, with the girls having days with friends, relatives and even a paid sitter one day. This works okay; I get up early and sit with them through […]

Maddy Heaven
She’s loved Buzz since she was about 2 years old; finding this was Maddy heaven. She took it very seriously 😆
Still here, more or less
Last week we were away in Devon for a annual holiday with friends in a Youth Hostel. I’d like to say I had a great time, but I didn’t, it was just too hard, but the GIRLS had a LOVELY time and really, that’s nearly all that matters. It’s incredibly comforting to be in the […]
Missing
Dear Freddie, On the day you should be 8 months old, I am with friends, lovely kind friends. I am surrounded by children. In this place are all the children your sisters love and who would have loved you. We are here with the babies who would have been your little gang. There are conversations […]
NaNoWriMo
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.

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 […]
