We finally got away for a holiday. We went back, again, to the farm we love so much, deep in the Dartmoor hills that have our heart. It is the most amazing place. You should go. Really. Just not all of you or we won’t be able to book our weeks 😉 When we went […]

Two Glorious Weeks.
Two much needed weeks away. Back to our Dartmoor haunts of rock and stream and moor and tors that tower and beckon and peep through mist or gleam in watered sunlight. I want to live somewhere that has this within walking distance. It has been such a happy two weeks. Not easy to leave behind. […]
Dartmoor
It’s a beautiful life.
A-maising play.
Years and years ago, my second product was Happymais, which my children loved. I’m not entirely sure now where it even came in from (how can I have forgotten that?) or why I stopped selling it but we did. It’s changed name since and is now called PlayMais; wondering about hunting it down again. It […]
Simple Science. Colours. Very absorbing.
Also known as a fun bit of sort of science from which we will later extrapolate something useful when the moment calls for it 🙂 The other day I saw this quick experiment pop up on Pinterest; I pinned it to my educational oddments board but showed Maddy. We had been talking about how to […]

Homemade Lemonade.
You know how sometimes you just HAVE to make something? Well.. last week something reminded Maddy of making lemonade and so she HAD to do it. Right now. Immediately. If NOT SOONER. As a result, we ended up with some lovely hot weather drinkyness and lemon iced biscuits (I know they look big chunks of […]
There may be trouble ahead…
Last week Amelie went off on a week long camp (more on this later!) It was quite strange to send her away; out of all of them, she is the loudest child in the house by a mile. She is also the dynamic changer and argument maker and all round household button pusher. We all […]
Garden Gym Jamming
Yesterday I indulged the gym fanatics of the house in a subscription to GymJamz, a site that lets you download music for gym routines. They’ve been dying to have a go at making up their own routines and I thought it would get them bouncing about and keep them busy. Here was the results of […]
