One of the highlights of this years holiday for me was the walk to Wistman’s Wood. We tend to give walks a rating; it needs to be suitable terrain for all o us to complete without wailing, have a river, a view, a bit of a climb, a destination, a myth, x factor and a […]
In the end.
In the end, it all comes back to one simple thing. I was one person and then my world fell apart. I put it back together and it fell apart all over again when my son died. Putting it back together again, trying to pick up the reins of a life that ran away from […]
Right, so that was us, in the rain, on Dartmoor.
It would take far more than a bit of rain to depress us though. In fact, Dartmoor rain nearly managed to be funny by the end of the week. We managed to pitch the girls tent in a short gap in the deluge (I say we, I mean Max and Fran, obviously) and then snuggled […]
The summer is gone before it began.
Suddenly there is only 10 days left before my big girl is back in school. Oh, how I wish she had long private school holidays like I had. We’ve loved having the time together, the 7 of us. Holiday has really brought home how much I miss her in the house. Without her here every […]
Bene had a holiday.
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 […]
This is going to be interesting.
In a few weeks time we are going to risk all the sanity left in our world and go on holiday. With a baby. For the first time in 7 years. Gulp. I’ve done a few holidays with babies, the last notable one being the HESFES filled with mud with 4 children under 7 on […]
