Need support for your home ed journey? Looking for tutoring for your young person? Have an idea for a collaboration? I’d love to hear from you!

After 20+ years of home educating my four children (two now adults), I’ve gathered a wealth of experience that I’m passionate about sharing. Beyond blogging and guest writing, I offer several services designed to support families on their home education journey.
I’ve put together a collection of resources that I’ve genuinely found useful over the years—things that have actually made a difference in our home education. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to freshen things up, there’s something here to help. These are the tools, guides, and materials I’d recommend to a friend, because they work.

Oh dear – for one awful moment I thought I’d slept with you. You don’t have a brother called Angus, do you?
God, that was my first thought too Joyce….you don’t have a brother called Angus *do you*?
No, I don’t have a brother called Angus. I did used to go round calling myself Angus though.
ROFL!!!!!!!!
Nice photo though, I should probably have slept with you than one or two of my other choices {grin} … but then I guess I would have only been about 3, so maybe not …
Any time. 🙂
And you would have been six.
Actually, just had another look. Had to shut it down quickly the first time before I got over-excited. That COULD be Angus. Were you full of existensialist angst as well? Stupid question, we all were in 1976
My mum was always pulling me up on my existensialist angst in the summer of ’76, that and not leaving the taps on…..
Existentialist angst? No, I was full of beer.
Obviously I wasn’t born in 1976, but I got a shock as I always forget to look who’s posted and always assume it’s Jax…..
Lol Heather! That must have been surprising 🙂
But do you see what I meant now about you being far far too young? 😉
Oh and Tim? 6 is still fairly inappropriate I reckon 😉 I expect you were grey by the time I was .. um, more mature.
They are playing a Bat out of Hell track now on Version radio.
The problem now is that I’m stuck in some sort of time warp. With the exception of DH, I’m not really into men my own age now. Whereas cheeky chappies like the warden at SYH – weeeellllll
rofl Jax!
I must admit, I am not into men my own age either.
You’re so picky 🙂
Strange, no-one has ever accused me of that before 😉
