Two much needed weeks away. Back to our Dartmoor haunts of rock and stream and moor and tors that tower and beckon and peep through mist or gleam in watered sunlight. I want to live somewhere that has this within walking distance. It has been such a happy two weeks. Not easy to leave behind. […]
A day in the past.
Try to remain calm… We left the house, all of us, in one go. We went somewhere. We had a nice time. Miracles! Lots of our friends have started doing Tudor reenactment at Kentwell Hall. You might think we would be dead certs for this, I certainly have always wanted to do something of the […]
A funny thing happened on the way home from Cybher.
London did not behave as expected yesterday. Despite my reservations, it was delightful in the morning, light, airy and quiet and full. It reminded me of the city I lived in once that I really loved. Kings Cross, in its new, glorious sparkling form was radiant. I had a grin on my face. People smiled […]
I went to blog camp.
Having missed out on the chance to get a ticket because my head was too broken while I was pregnant, I nearly went into rapture when Sally sent me an invite to take up a reserve place. I’ve got lots of time for the way Sally, of Tots100, The MADS and BlogCamp fame, runs her […]
It was, you may say, satisfactory.
We took our grief to Audley End, a place I carried Freddie secretly one hot late summer day 2 1/2 years ago. Walked the same grass, trod the same paths. We are not the same 6 as then. We are not even 6. We are a family who count ourselves in measured phrases and appropriate […]
A Weekend in 4×4 Photos
We had a lovely weekend. When we got to the end of of it I was able to send this tweet:- “Crafting done, TKD belt earned, rugby played, PDF published, milk pumped, baby slinged and fed, walk had, knitting achieved. Good day.” I thought that was fairly productive really. Saturday was the normal round of […]
Christmas Camp 2011
I’ve got a group of friends who I met online when Maddy was tiny, using now wildly outdated ways of connecting with like-minded souls such as yahoo groups (before Facebook and Twitter, imagine!). They became real life friends remarkably quickly. We did our first camp together, some of us, when Amelie was 4 months old […]
Excellent with Irritations.
We are having a pretty good week, for a last week when all four children are home educated. As of Monday, Fran is a has been 😉 She’s been working quite hard this last few days, finishing off some of the formal work she’s done over the last little while, doing a bit more cello […]
Dartmeet & parting with Dartmoor
For our last day, which was shaping up to be the hottest of all of them, we went to another new place. In fact, this time we did so many new things that we didn’t manage to fit in lots of old favourites and ended up not doing or seeing all the places and people […]
Buckland and Bude.
Which does sound rather like a firm of solicitors I think. As is usual, we made use of our National Trust membership. If you are a large family, days out with individual entry are just prohibitively expensive but NT membership means we can drop in and out of places without feeling we must squeeze every […]
