Home education, how's it looking these days?

14th January 2019 by Jax Blunt 8 Comments

Solar puppy

I still get a fair few contacts via social media about home education, so I thought it was probably time for a bit of an update on where we are, how we're doing and what it looks like these days. Also, I was inspired by Adele over at Beautiful Tribe who wrote a beautiful post about resetting … [Read more...] about Home education, how's it looking these days?

The purpose of this blog

1st December 2018 by Jax Blunt 2 Comments

Was to keep track of our home ed days and chat over the garden fence (virtually speaking) with other home educators.

Cinderella and the Hulkbuster with Sky backstage at The O2

10th December 2015 by Jax Blunt Leave a Comment

A little while ago I took the three younger kids down to the O2 in London for a look around Sky Backstage. It was a fab day out - turns out the O2 is really accessible from here, we got a mainline train down to Stratford, changed to the Jubilee line and it's 3 stops down the line. Really easy.
