Oh i could twist and turn in the mud of a good old wallow tonight. But I’ll spare you the agony; I think it would probably be gratuitous and maybe I’ll need to do it more another night. So instead, let me tell you how I spent the day with the two girls who were […]

The MADS – I'm not even pretending.
I’m flipping chuffed to bits to have got some nominations for this. I didn’t even do them myself, so I’m properly happy 😉 Thank you, whoever you are. After a really blooming horrible tough year, I’ve gone all warm and fuzzy and feeble and grateful 😀 And I love seeing those home ed blogs, crafty […]
Real Home Ed
The real home ed, of course, continues to happen between times and probably the best times of all are the car ed moments. They always have been. Fran has been reading the Diary of Anne Frank; I think I read this at 14 but she is at a great age to read it, as she […]
French/Science/Latin/Poetry/English Day
We might need to come up with a catchier title for this. This is now a very long time ago in my head, so I’ll keep it properly brief. We reformed for an ad hoc day of trying out some new things and a different way of getting the kids together to enjoy some education […]
History Day – the Greeks
I am so far behind on educational record keeping it isn’t true. I’ve got at least several nice days to write up, so you’ll just have to take it as read that in between times, they’ve also been doing ordinary stuff, Mathletics etc etc. Music lessons have happened, trampolining been done, ballet exams got through, […]

Moondial Day
These are a few of my favourite things. We had a family day out to Belton House, home of the Moondial. We’ve got a lot of fond memories of being there, it’s one of our haunts (and was even one of mine, as I had a school trip there once when I was about 9), […]
Hama Bead Hot Air Balloon Picture
I made this last Summer on 4 square pegboards. It was pleasant to make something big, that required a certain amount of concentration. I enjoyed doing it. I’ve finally got round to putting the pattern together into the bead designer; I’m putting them up on BeadMerrily, my Hama Bead Ideas website connected to CraftMerrily, our […]
Posting about Poo.
I’m doing this one because I need a laugh 😆 and because, dammit, if after 5 children you can’t have anecdotes and stories about poo, what the hell do you have? So girls, this one is for you lot on your wedding days – if me and daddy are not there for some reason, promise […]
