Own Grown: April 2014

Home educating three free range seedlings. Friday, 25 April 2014. Well- after all the broken bones- including my mother- who has broken her leg and walked on it for three weeks! I fancied a quiet bit of normalcy. Nanny took the children to Clumber Park and found a birds of prey display. Apparently barn owls are really soft! Daddy has been away to hone his climbing skills and they have been back to the climbing centre- they have discovered the auto belay - apparently great fun. Monday, 7 April 2014. Very ...

Home educating three free range seedlings. Saturday, 15 February 2014. I so need to get the blogging habit back! Not going on the PC often enough I guess (ipad too handy! Anyway Januray flew by and it looks like February will do the same. A Cub Scout ramble- very wet, windy and miserable but my Cub and Beaver found their Scouting spirit and got themselves around and enjoyed themselves as well! And another arghhhh Masters module on evidence based practice. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Mary Higgins Clark Set.

Own Grown: July 2013

Home educating three free range seedlings. Sunday, 21 July 2013. Have been debating whether to take the children for the last few years and finally decided to do it this year! Great day- very well organised. Easy parking and prebooked tickets meant fast track entry. I decided just to do one day- but we could have easily spent both days there in order to do justice to it all. Of course as always I knew that the WWII stuff would be the highlight for certain family members! Gorgeous Highland scenery- on a b...

Own Grown: October 2013

Home educating three free range seedlings. Wednesday, 30 October 2013. I know that some parts have had terrible storms over the last week or so- but here in the protected Midlands we have really had quite lovely weather. I am at that time of year where I feel it all slipping away and desparate to make the most of these last weeks before the cold really sets in- hence a glorious autumny walk in Sherwood Forest. I love the mix of woodland there! Sunday, 6 October 2013. We have been crafting autumn things- ...

Home educating three free range seedlings. Saturday, 28 September 2013. One of those moments. Where you find the children have been playing with the camera. Obviously lego is valued highly in this household. In fact I think some of it is played with daily. We have a huge box of general stuff, Ms ancient lego railway set and then quite a few modern sets ( we tend to go for either Creator or City). Friday, 20 September 2013. SJ and his new CDROM for his birthday- a lego construction park- interesting alter...

Home educating three free range seedlings. Saturday, 10 May 2014. Very spectacular place and a lovely day out with family- although some of the little extras made it add up a little. Awesome workmanship- the care taken for 'just' a utilities building- stained glass windows, enamelling, ironwork, an ornate pond and a huge front door and porch. Did some child crafts- Morris men sticks and sashes. And had awesome acoustics- TP hooted and it passed around almost each arch being slowly magnified. Then moving ...

Home educating three free range seedlings. Thursday, 26 December 2013. The run up to Christmas. As well as visiting the Panto in Nottingham- much enjoyed by all especially when Daddy got dragged up on stage in 'mistake' for Barney Harwood! And then those final few days before Christmas- centred around catching up with some family and relaxing, a few Christmas makes and traditions like watching the Box of Delights (I want to live at Seekings! Before new pyjamas and preparations. We have taken out an Annua...

Own Grown: August 2013

Home educating three free range seedlings. Monday, 19 August 2013. My precious big boy. An exciting step forward- a whole week away at an activity centre, by himself, on a 7-10 yrs holiday. Had a wonderful time but I think was ready to come home- got an almost tearful call the night before home- just tired and ready for a bit of normality I think. Excitement of Raft Building, Rifle shooting, High Ropes, Climbing and Abseiling, Quad biking plus many more. Talent shows, discos, films. Have been flooded- th...
