A bad boy stole my bra by Lauren Price – blog tour
Buy at Amazon Isn’t that just the best book title ever? When I spotted the shout out for bloggers to take part in the blog tour I just couldn’t resist, and the cover is just as in your face as the title. A great combination – it’s going to zing in book shops. A BAD…
Wildflower hunting, sculpture trails and music festivals – some summer plans
I love wildflowers. This is not a surprise to anyone who follows me on instagram. (Handy link over there in the sidebar if that isn’t you. If you’ve arrived here from instagram, nice to see you!) Today I got sent a press release about a great way to get kids into the idea of wildflower…
Brief reason for home education.
Today in the post I got a form from college – additional information for home educated students. There was a little box headed up “brief reason for home education”. Brief? You want me to summarise how we came to home education briefly? There were a couple of years of research that spun off reading I…
A Monday feeling Tuesday.
Do you ever have a day when you are convinced it’s a different day? Today should have involved a college interview, but that got cancelled yesterday (not enough interest to run the course, back to the drawing board 🙁 ) but without enough time for me to get my head around a different shape to…
Days of Wonder by Keith Stuart
I have a confession to make. I don’t like heart warming books. I’m not a fan of tear jerkers. So why did I read Days of Wonder, when I had a pretty good idea of what was coming? Because it’s Keith Stuart, and although I feel I shouldn’t love his books, (I read YA! and…
Life Satisfaction: A Scientist's Guide by Leo Lafferty-Whyte PhD.
There is an irony, I feel, in this post. A few days back I posted about doing 15 days of giveaways. I then failed completely and utterly to even put together the widget for the first giveaway, and have been slumped in a heap of self recrimination ever since. So how can I possibly be…
Happy blogaversary to me.
15 years of blogging. Here’s to the next 15. Today’s giveaway: A mini monster. Yet to be made (you can’t have the spotty one, that’s Tigerboy’s. ) There’ll be a gleam widget here in a minute if my battery lasts. (Ok, it hasn’t. Tomorrow. )

Lifestyle changes, the Italian edition.
A few months ago, t’other half had a bit of a wake up call from a scheduled GP encounter. Nothing immediately serious, but a whole load of little factors that add up together to mean that his overall health picture wasn’t nearly as good as it could be. Basically, his age, weight, lifestyle and being…
The Leavers by Lisa Ko
Today I’m pleased to be helping kick off the blog tour for the award winning The Leavers by Lisa Ko.
