The tale of Mr Tod
We went to the theatre this evening. It’s a small theatre, recently built by Red Rose Chain with a lottery grant I believe. We’ve seen them before, at theatre in the forest, which is usually a fairly dramatic production – we’ve seen a variety of different Shakespeare plays. This was very different. An adaptation…
How to make a fabric indoor wreath
I was recently approached by Turtle Mat to take part in a wreath making activity, they were kind enough to send me the materials for the wreath and a catalog of their products. (Do check out their Christmas collection, I’m eyeing up a boot stand as a possible organisational tool to help reclaim the porch.)…
Once upon a time
This blog was just a record of our days. And I love looking back on those days, and I miss writing them up. So I’m going to try to bring that back a little. Today Small got his braces on. Slightly confused that they didn’t clean his teeth before they applied them, going to follow…
Happy birthday to me.
Late morning after another disturbed night – Tigerboy has a cough. Even later morning for the children, but then it was softplay and skating this afternoon (poor unsocialised home educated children that they are, after a week away with friends last week!) and I treated myself to a deluxe hot chocolate. And then, on the…
Aspergers and sensory overload – my experience
You’ve probably all seen an asperger’s or autistic sensory overload without knowing what you were seeing. It may have looked like a small child having a tantrum, maybe in a shop or play area. It’s not a tantrum. It may have been a slightly older child having a strop, all flounce and bounce and anger…
How (not) to crochet a scarf
Crochet is a wonderful fun craft. It’s quick, easy, portable and you can make amazingly effective accessories that are completely unique. Or, like me, you can completely fail. A little while ago, I had a lovely ball of Debbie Bliss rialto lace sent to me from Cosywool, with the associated challenge to crochet a scarf.…
The last minute panic pack
You’d think, knowing that I’m going on holiday with three children, that I’d have spent the last week getting ready. Processing washing. Organising food for those left behind. Doing a little every day. You’d be so very wrong. I class it as a triumph if I get stuff sorted the day before we go away,…

Saturday snippets 21 November 2015
{travelling} to London, for HP UK event and Blogfest. It was a shame the HP event had to shift, meaning that I missed the morning session (including Rachael’s talk) but I made it to King’s Place in comfortable time for my first clinic at 12.30. {talking tech} giving advice on wordpress, images, hosting, domain names.…
