last year we did a great walk from Bellever, up on to the moor, past the Snaily House, where 3 sisters allegedly lived, never went to town and only ate snails and down to the river again through a very scratchy gorse patch. I got very burned but it was a lovely walk. This year […]
Fingle Bridge & walking above Okehampton
On our first day away, once we were properly settled in, had some shopping and had played lots with the farm dogs, we took a walk above Okehampton; not a long walk, mainly due to a threatening looking rain cloud, but a pleasant one. It’s a path from just above the station, from the youth […]
Kestor Bliss
Kestor is our place. it’s the place Max took me on our first Dartmoor walk together, the place we got lost in fog together, the place we have walked out children at all the ages they have been. It’s his second ‘home’ tor, nestling above Chagford and Thorn where his Gran lived and where he […]
Dartmoor Days Out : Lustleigh Cleave
This year we tried a new walk, straying over to a side of Dartmoor we don’t know so well. The day started fairly hysterically, as we (I say we, I do of course mean ‘him who does the driving’) decided to take a road marked as a track between North Bovey and a place I […]
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 […]
That's a lot…ment. *whooty whoot whoot*
Ahem, just to get this out of the way,So, just in case you didn’t know, the last day for The Mads Nominations is tomorrow; I’m in Blogger of the Year, Writer, Inspirational, Craft, Family Life and Small Business and if you have time to vote for any blogs before closing date, I’d appreciate it so […]
Moondial Day
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), […]
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 […]
A Day at the Science Museum
We’ve decided this year to make sure we visit a London museum (or other equivalent destination) each month. This is not cheap, even when they are free, since getting 6 paying people to London on the train costs £60 even with a railcard. However, the odd non-charity sponsored post is paying for this, more or […]
Round up so I don't forget!
Monday – I was too busy worrying about my Dad to do more than basics, so Zoe and co came here in the afternoon instead of an art day. Girls did loads of work though. Fran really forging ahead with Mathletics, writing and so on and of course completed that lovely guest post for me. […]
