From time to time me and the girls get creative and start making pretty things with Hama Beads again. This is a good time of year for spooky and autumnal designs, so we’ve been beading merrily over the last few days. The girls had fun making things, most of which I still need to take […]
Keeping WALKING!!!!
One of the things that struck me this holiday was how happily my children are entertained by very simple pleasures. I know lots of people like to pack holidays full of educational days out and seeing everything? and I know that essentially we are quite boring as we tend to just go back to the […]
Allotment Update
You are only allowed to look if you promise not to mention the weeds 😆 We’ve just not managed to get there enough this year; too many unfortunate – and fortunate – events and emotional stresses, lack of car, being poorly. Still. What went in had variable success and we learned lots for this Autumn […]
Definitely stuck on this house! (Win a Velcro House!)
My children are incredibly lucky; since they were small, having a mum who sells toys and crafty stuff has meant they have had opportunities to try out all manner of things. It is possible that the new Velcro Kids House is the best thing ever though 🙂 They’ve decorated, they’ve performed with it and they’ve […]
Taking it to extremes.
After rather pathetically realising my ‘stay at home’ status had become a little bit too literal in my last post, we’ve been out every day this week. Which has been some achievement actually. We’ve been various children down at various points of the week this week so the dimensions of life have been quite different. […]
Not so much other than ordinary
In the almost total absence of a home internet access this week, we’ve done other stuff. The allotment was in sore need of some work, so we’ve done that. The little girls have weeded and watered and stone collected, so our beds are better next year and we’ll have paths to walk on that get […]
Garden and Allotment Updates
Claire and Charlie bought this (and it’s pair) after Freddie died last year. Claire, it is just so beautiful this year 🙂 I just love these two. The garden is nice at the moment, in a slightly wild and a bit too purple and blue sort of way. But these two just make me shiver […]
This is me, this is my future Save the Children #passiton
Josie at Sleep is for the Weak has asked us to take part in a meme to promote the Save the Children Campaign to bring vaccinations to developing countries as part of the No Child Born to Die initiative. 8 million children a year still die from preventable diseases such as pneumonia and diarrhoea. I […]
Allotment Watch
You can’t say fairer than seeing your first little shoots of stuff coming up 🙂 While the garden is fairly bursting with veggie life, the allotment is (understandably) behind it but these onions were only put in over the Royal Wedding Weekend and shoots were really exciting to see. There was also a garlic shoot […]
