I have a friend who will talk about ‘PollyAnna-ing’ a day, seeing the bright side in a day that didn’t go to plan. Sunflower. That was our day at Buckland Abbey this year. We love it there, it is a beautiful National Trust property which we always go to with lovely gardens, activities and walks […]
Peace, perfect peace. More Mandalas.
Before we went away we spent some time on Hama Bead Mandalas, as already blogged. But they were just so gorgeous that even though I’ve already blogged them over at BeadMerrily, home of all the Hama Beads you could possibly ever want, I decided to put them here too. It was a lovely few days […]
Home from home.
We’ve become so incredibly fond of this farm; it has seeped into my bones in a way that I haven’t ever felt before. Everything about it feels perfect, from the view and the atmosphere to the location and the sense of memory and continuity. Max’s gran once owned it, the view opposite has the farm […]
Kestor.
Another gorgeous walk in our home from home. Kestor is the first tor Max ever brought me to, the one that is centre if this beautiful place for me. It’s here I can look back on 20 years of loving and being loved and bringing our children to this gorgeous place. This year in enjoying […]
Walking in the rain.
It doesn’t have to be sunny. I’m not saying we would object to sun… But colours comes in many guises. Even in a toy salamander carried carefully up a big hill by a boy who rides on shoulders for 6 whole miles. I think his daddy would do anything for him. From Hookner to Grimspound […]
Everyone.
You wouldn’t know it, but this photo has all my children in it. When we first came here, all that time ago, 6 weeks after Freddie, I hunted for him. I found him here, by the stepping stones at this river. It’s the only place I’ve ever really felt him, in the swish of the […]
Holidays.
I don’t know how it happened but rugby has become one of the family sports (not me, I refuse to watch it on TV or play it!) but the girls and boy all love it. Last week Fran got picked as part of the under 18 side for the North of England Mixed Squad which […]
Crafty Summer – Hama Bead Mandalas.
I’m setting inspirations for the girls this holiday. I think we all need to reactivate our creative sides. Today I made it about mandalas and our long loved midi hama beads. More details, a Pinterest board and ideas tomorrow but it was a huge success.
The end of (this year's school) days.
We made it. Only just and not without some pain, but we made it. It’s the end of our first full year of schooling all of them. I’m pretty disgruntled about it, as I said before, but there are positives too. None of them want to leave so I suppose that is a positive. They […]
The boy and his bike.
Over the last few months we’ve been reviewing a Little Tikes 4-in-1 Trike for Bene. I decided to put it through it’s paces first before reviewing as to start with he was inexplicably bothered by pedals and it took him a while to cope with it at all. He’s not quite at the point of […]
