I’ve got lots to say about the rather fabulous event Josie and I attended today at the House of Lords but I’m just too tired and caught up in other things tonight. So here are some pictures of a very special day I spent with my smallest girl, who rarely gets me all to herself […]
Education the other way.
After years of being the ‘slightly not in a box’ home ed group on visits and trips out, I experienced being a ‘mum on a school trip’ this week. Josie’s year went on a trip to the Egyptian area of the British Museum and I decided to go too. This was partly because I was […]
Such a perfect day.
Half term. We grabbed a few hours when most of us were in the same place and went out. Taught Bene a little about park play. Looked at weird nature. And amazing nature. And extraordinary nature. It was the day after the ‘great storm’ so we were wary of big trees with branches that could […]
Dartmeet & Haytor Quarry… we heart Devon.
Determined not to let a broken foot cramp our style, we’ve been going about normal Dartmoor business, albeit with a few extra stops and picking our walks more carefully. Amelie’s foot is actually suddenly a lot better (we dunked it in the healing waters of Exmouth, renown Raymond medicine for feet…) and she has managed […]
Day trip to #venturecove at Elveden Center Parcs
You might remember that I mentioned in my Center Parcs review that the kids play area at Elveden had been closed for refurbishment. Last week we were invited back by Centerparcs to see what they had done with it, to turn it into Venture Cove, the new activity spot for kids and families within the […]
Centerparcs review – pottery, high wires and … relax….
Wednesday was a pretty busy day. First of all our eldest three went off on a the aerial adventure; Max and the big two have done it before but it was new to Amelie. Apart from the bit that always looks to me like it shouldn’t be that scary, she was fine. Both Max and […]
Centerparcs Review: a perfect week part one
We have been fans of Elveden Centerparcs for many years now, taking our first holiday there when Amelie was just a year or so old. We’ve been back there in groups of friends and alone, including once as a week long, main summer holiday many times since. It never fails to be a good week […]
But it was good.
It was a lovely day, despite the tears and the grief. After all the snow and rain and grey, the sun came out. You might even have believed a little boy blue sent us the clear sky and the biting brilliance of a cold spring day. Bene, wearing the shoes all his sisters have first […]
Popping with Pride.
Just for once I’m not going to blog about my children. I’m going to tell you about my mum, just for a moment. You might have seen the Channel 4 documentary about the “Bionic Man” are project about seeing how far we can go in reconstructing a human from the inventions medical science have created […]
A walk.
It shouldn't seem like a big thing, because it isn't. Only it is, because the last 3 years I've really struggled to go out without another adult. It's a much bigger problem than I've wanted to admit and I've hidden it better than I might have because there is usually Max or a friend to […]
