Snippets and snapshots
{missing} my weekly round up – I know I’ll regret those holes in the archives when I’m looking back at our lives. {feeling} like wading through mud would be easier than living through days steeped in depression. I want to be happy. I can’t remember how. I can’t find any energy to do things that…
It's Friday again?
How did that happen? We have done stuff. It’s been a quiet week though, and I swear it was only Tuesday last time I looked. More drawing for me and the littlies – they are really interested in exploring the art stuff I’m getting out for them, and it’s great to work alongside them with…
Fun with felt at home education group
First meet of the year, a workshop run by a felting expert. Now, I’m reasonably familiar with felt after my Kentwell experience, but I’m never going to pass up on the chance to work with an expert, and this turned out to be great fun. Smallest designed a picture, I just love the way the…
2015 Snippets
{remembering} bits of a year. There have been some big changes. {Big} joined cadets, reenacted 1920s without us, and started school. There were probably some other bits, but those stand out. She’s raced through the qualifications at cadets, mainly because she has only missed a couple of training nights since she started – one because…

{walking} to the beach whenever possible. This week has been good for chances to get out. I’m cherishing every one. {decluttering} a whole 11 books, a sack of toys and a sack of clothes this week. It’s a start. And I think it was slightly more than came into the house, so that’s a positive.…

{Pondering} blogging. I went kind of cold turkey this week at Kentwell and I didn’t miss it nearly as much as I thought I would. (I went cold turkey on stats as well which probably helped with the not missing! ) need to find my focus really. {Enjoying} dancing. I really do like cheesy disco…

{putting} a tent up Kentwell Hall, ready for this week’s hands on living history reenactment. Forecast was for a very hot day, so I went as early as I could to get sorted before the heat set in. Still hot work, particularly putting it up on my own, but I have now cracked how to…
You're going to miss this
Sitting in the library at a local sixth form, I suddenly realised that life is racing by. Big is pondering next steps in education – her story not mine, so no details here at the moment – and one thing seems certain, September will bring big changes to our family’s way of life. Years turn…
