We might need to come up with a catchier title for this. This is now a very long time ago in my head, so I’ll keep it properly brief. We reformed for an ad hoc day of trying out some new things and a different way of getting the kids together to enjoy some education […]
History Day – the Greeks
I am so far behind on educational record keeping it isn’t true. I’ve got at least several nice days to write up, so you’ll just have to take it as read that in between times, they’ve also been doing ordinary stuff, Mathletics etc etc. Music lessons have happened, trampolining been done, ballet exams got through, […]
On this day
On this day, 19 years ago, I attended the funeral of one of my school friends, a boy aged just 17. That was one of the saddest days of my life. On this day 5 years ago, I found out I was pregnant and saying it out loud caused horror. That was one of the […]

These are a few of my favourite things. We had a family day out to Belton House, home of the Moondial. We’ve got a lot of fond memories of being there, it’s one of our haunts (and was even one of mine, as I had a school trip there once when I was about 9), […]

Drawing Houses – the project conclusion.
Zoe & I pulled together the end of the house drawing project over two half days in the last week. The kids have learned loads, that is clear and we’re all ready to move on now. I’ve been so impressed by them all for plugging away at stretching new skills, particularly mine, who really haven’t […]
Mother's Day
I’m a very lucky mother to have children and a husband who understand how hard today felt, the first ever Mother’s Day without Freddie. I had one present early, on Thursday. Today I was woken with cards and breakfast and tea this morning which was beautifully perfect. Josie made me a really wonderful card, the […]

Out and About
In conversation with friends the other day, I realised I have become a bit of a recluse in some way, possibly a little bit pathetically so. It isn’t that we don’t go out, we do – we see plenty of people and the girls do everything they should and want to – but I’ve stopped […]
