This year has been the most unexpected year of my life. Given I gave birth to three babies within the period of 9 months and 2 weeks, I don't say this lightly! This is going to be a long rambling kind of post, looking back over 2024, which I will try to break up with…

Looking Back: Ancient Greece – Spartans
I've found the rest of my photos pertaining to our ancient Greek studies (still can't find my Roman ones) and thought I'd post some of them in a few 'looking back' posts. 'Looking back' posts are full of the learning we did prior to me keeping a blog. As they are part of our past…

They seemed to have been such a colourful people, who were essentially a race of their own. I've since done another lesson on the…
