So this morning i had some thoughts. And today, gradually, the news coverage has rolled in; in the main, i think it has been positive. The Independent has this to say in a generally fair an accurate portrayal of the circumstances. The Telegraph uses the word “force” which is language i think we need in […]
What I think about the Select Committee Review into HE.
This is nothing more than my notes as i read – i daresay i will have more that worries me later. The full text is here. (opens pdf) I’m concerned that we might, by dint of feeling beleaguered and abused, see only the negatives in this report. For now, i am going to focus on […]
How Time Flies.
Conversation with the dancing teacher and then with Zoe made me look for this photo. That is Fran and Maddy on their first week at dancing when Josie was just weeks old. How time flies – how little girls grow and change.

We're appreciated!!!!
And we like it! Thank you to the Tots100 Blog Index for making us a new entry at number 48. You have brightened up an otherwise rather sad and dismal day 🙂

Decent photos of the finished articles can be added tomorrow as the light isn’t good enough to take them decently but here is my felted snowman and Fran’s felted present. Christmas Craft #3 was these cute little kits from Tesco, which would have been too expensive to do en masse, had i not caught them […]
God knows where i'll take the inspector when he asks to see our 'premises'.
Today’s educational environments have included the front room, Activity World, in the car and walking between the car and Tesco. First of all the girls all did some music, some felting, some more Horrible History watching and some tidying. I interviewed a builder about altering part of our garage into a playroom of sorts and […]
Christmas Fimo Models & Needle Felting
On Monday we went to Zoe’s for the day; Zoe had got ready this lovely Christmas Pudding recipe for us to make and orchestrated 2 bowlfuls of pudding. Hopefully we can make cakes next week too 🙂 While she did that i got shifts of girls doing felting and everyone made something or started on […]
