A hobby that let's me think back to good times and summer holidays, funny times and stories to re-tell. When I ordered... Read more →

This was the scene on the 2nd of December, how lovely! Of course with the snow came no school, much to the boys delight. Under there is my beetle! The snow has thawed a lot over the weekend, but the snowman is still there, although he no longer has any facial features! I still have no internet at home (very... Read more →

If October was all about knights, then November is all about pirates. For that's Matthew's school topic this half-term, and of course there's always a lego project involved in his topic home learning.
