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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Royal Wedding Easy Kids Craft in Hama Beads
When I was at school, one of my teachers used to call me “the late Miss Taylor” – as you can see, I’m not renown for being on time or early, so my Royal Wedding craft is suitably too late to actually drum up sales. Ah well 🙂 The girls did these designs today; I’ll […]
Hama Bead Easter Bunnies
I can always rely on Maddy to come up with some brilliant Hama Bead patterns for me and she really went for it this time. Maddy, you are a complete star 🙂 We are just going to stick these together and hang them up now 🙂 Other offerings include Josie’s chicks and her […]

Making something grow
Thanks to my many lovely friends, the garden is still looking beautiful; daffs are hanging on, tulips blooming, one magnolia is still making new blooms and the other is about to burst open. Not bad for an iPhone. It’s worth a thank you. I didn’t want to garden last year, but being sent trees and […]
Easter Hama Bead Designs
Maddy made this last year, the day before Freddie was born. It’s kind of a funny thing, now. I love it though. The girls have made various things over the last week, to help me out with some new pages on BeadMerrily, home of all things Hama Bead-y.This is from one of the Mini Bead […]
Sail away
I’m a little short on the mental energy to blog, but I committed to a post a day, so here it is. Yesterday Josie and I made paper boats. She wax designed one side in thick coverings of colour and then we learned to fold them. We used some Stockmar crayons that we were given […]
