We went out and about today, and bought stationery for the new not-school year that’s fast approaching. None of this terminology makes much sense. As I’ve said, we’ve drifted into an unschooling lifestyle where there’s really not a lot of division in the day between overtly educational activities and games and playing and just life […]

{Pondering} on what possesses people to do unpleasant aggressive things to complete strangers. Bit of an incident at work – nobody hurt, but a bit shaken up by it. Not fun. {Enjoying} the slightly cooler weather. Although apart from driving and sleeping I really enjoyed the sunshine. I like being warm, what can I say? […]

(We’re reinstating #FamilyFilmNight but next week – we were running too late tonight after watching the football 😉 ) We loved it in case you’re wondering. And I’m […]
Brief reason for home education.
July 11, 2018 By 2 Comments
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?
