Fabric Paint Fun & a Giveaway
We’re back into more of a routine of work in the morning and activities in the afternoon again, which is good for me and always better for the girls too. By the end of last week some form of demob madness had set in; my girls never have been good without a bit of structure […]
We got Annie!
Thanks to the money saved up from a bit of blogging and the desperate plea of someone who works for us and who really wanted to see it but was too shy to go without kids in tow, we went to see Annie today 🙂 It’s a bit of a special one for all of […]
To remind myself some other day.
I wrote this as a comment on Glow, that amazing wonderful place that has held me together over the last year. I’m copying it here to remind myself, on the days when the empty and dark feelings have me by the throat and won’t let go and when it seems that life, any amount of […]
Trains…
The kids have been reasonably pleased with the whole “Night Mail” thing and have done some great work on it. I’ve not done photos yet but Maddy has done an amazing snippet of poem to fit into it:- “And though the country is very vast, she’ll never get lost, she’ll keep going fast. She’ll follow […]
The Gallery: April
As things go, the Gallery provided too many opportunities for reflection this month. Too many I couldn’t walk past: they felt like a summons. But April hasn’t been a sad month, after all, it has been a happy month, one that has helped me see how lucky I am, even if it takes a certain […]
It's the Fork that Counts.
This one is for MTJAM (and the title is for my brother and sister). Emily wrote about Accidental Parenting and how she has inadvertently let her children develop a habit of nude baked beans. I’m not sure what to make of her comment that my accidental parenting is more deliberate (certainly Max would say that […]
Poetry Study: Night Mail by W. H. Auden
Last Wednesday was one of our new Co-op-Ed days (which I will blog!) but I did another poem with the each of the older/younger groups. I’m loving doing this, I think it is the first time I have felt properly useful in the group in the whole time we’ve been going and it has made […]
Garden & Allotment Stuff
This last week or so has been a flurry of visitors, visiting and being places. The bank holidays – and with them the end of April and the passing of all ‘those’ dates have flown by. I think they are not really the same for us, given in the Spring and Summer we can please […]
In the end
I committed to a post a day through April and so here is the last of them. I can’t honestly do better than a song, one I love and which makes me cry but which also makes me smile wistfully. I am sad tonight. Freddie, I miss you so much. I wanted to watch you […]
