I’ve got a bit of a poem thing going on at the moment; spending a little bit of time reading them with children and hearing their ideas about meanings and feelings has really inspired me to do more of it. I MEANT to do more of this with my children, it was so part of […]

Live in the now
Impossible not to live in the now. April is always a month of the past, has always been the month where I looked back and was surprised the life goes on, the world keeps spinning, the days pass. The month of shoots and sprouting and Spring, when things appear and the earth smells fresh. How […]
Exploring Artists – Paul Corfield
I know I said we had finished, but actually the girls and I had a bit of a spin off art moment today, which we all really enjoyed. It started, as these things so often do, with a game Fran and I were playing called Tiny Wings which has rather lovely artwork, of a very […]
