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 […]
Art Etc – Map Work Inspired Art
The numerous bank holidays recently have left us rather short of our Art Mondays, which we’ve missed. The two that were available were days when I was on a down, which Zoe does a great job of pulling me through, but the result has been we haven’t achieved so much, though we’ve had a nice […]
Why I Live Where I Live
This isn’t where I would choose to live, this flat nowhere town caught between the Midlands and the Fens. East Anglia gets forgotten at the best of times, I’ve seen it entirely excised from lists of areas of the UK, but a town that slides off the rolling countryside of Northamptonshire and lands like a […]
A Typical Home Education Day in Photos
There are many ways to home educate. There are families who never do a formal lesson or piece of work in their entire journey; there are people who use workbooks and text books, there are people who follow the National Curriculum and people who follow their child, resourcing it from whatever is available along the […]
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 […]
Blanket Watch
The sanity blanket is nearing completion. It was 8 squares left and then I decided it wanted it to be 7×7 so now it is back to being 9. I really want this done now; I want it finished by the end of May, so I am knitting MADLY. Argh. I think it is good […]
Silent Sunday
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 […]
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 […]
