This has been such an amazing week 🙂 It seems like forever since I felt this way, although certainly we were getting there last term. This term, however, has been truly wonderful so far. We are always a happier family when we are working hard and even more so if what we are learning is……

Precious Moments
This week was our week off. I had great plans to catch up on all my blog reading, write a few posts, school plan and rest some, maybe even slipping in a bit of book writing at the same time. I was so busy I did absolutely none of the above. Nada. Sigh. We did……
Precious Moments
This has been a furiously busy week with much work and not a lot of photo opportunities. We are off next week and I had lots of work I wanted to finish before then. Over the weekend B4 wrote a letter to A7 and drew a beautiful picture at the bottom. It was so sweet:……

This week began with illness, a peculiar one with very high temperatures and a sore throat, nothing else. B4’s travelled through to her ear and she spent all of Monday night screaming with pain. Of course we took her to the doctors the next day and she is now on ‘yummy banana juice’ (antibiotics). I……

This week began with Gary having the day off, having worked the weekend. T’s final exam was that afternoon, so we decided to go on a nature walk and explore some of the fairly local ponds. I posted lots about this yesterday, but I managed to get a few photos which, for me, belonged in……
Precious Moments
This week began our first full week back at school since before Christmas. Yes, I know. Our winter holidays were a little long this year but I guess that is the advantage of homeschooling 🙂 Last week ended with a smattering of snow: which the little ones played in for as long as they could,making……
Precious Moments
What a very bizarre week it has been! It started with a weekend away to visit friends in Lincolnshire, which before we got there felt stressy what with Hurricane Abigail making its way through the UK (that would be the wind, not the daughter), and a few mishaps prior to leaving. Once there, we were……
Precious Moments
It has been a good week this week. We have worked our way through one English Language IGCSE paper, learnt about the Japanese, Australian Aborigines, Cervantes Don Quixote (which C is desperate to get her hands on), and Francis Bacon. We have had a focus week on the Aborigines and have returned to our former……
Precious Memories: Birthday Celebrations
As you all know by now, it was my girls’ thirteenth birthday last Friday. We had a really special day, which I thought I would share. We were up and about in time for Mum to join us at 830 Friday morning. The girls had requested chocolate croissants for breakfast, so I popped those in……
Precious Moments
Compared with last week, this week has been a walk in the park. We are finally settling into a great routine and after tweaking things for the past three weeks, I am glad to say no more tweaking is necessary. We are slowly becoming the peace loving home school we all know and love.……
Precious Autumn Moments
I have been so busy with school this week I have taken practically no photos 🙁 In fact I wasn’t sure I would even be able to write the post. On Monday I spilt a whole pint glass of water over my keyboard, after which it began behaving peculiarly and out of character (‘out……
Precious Autumn Moments
It’s been the last week of our holidays and I am glad to report we are all ready to return to work. I wasn’t sure my enthusiasm would return, it was taking so long to recover from the summer. But just this week, I have begun to feel my customary excitement and I am really……
Precious Moments
Thank you all so much for your messages and emails. Each and every one of them brought comfort and we appreciate them so very much. Yesterday was my birthday, and honestly, I just wanted to curl myself up and escape under my duvet in a rather pathetic show of self pity…….only my children had other……
Precious Autumn Moments
After Shakespeare finished I was feeling very run down and extraordinarily tired. Last week I came down with a nasty sinus infection which I am only just getting over now. Usually I am the one in the family who rarely comes down with infections whilst everyone around me flounders. This time I was the only……
Precious Moments over the Past Month or so
I seem to be a bit behind on my blogging in general and my precious moments posts in particular. That would have to be the fault of Shakespeare. Yes, I know he’s dead, but seriously he is causing all sorts of lapses in my normal behaviour of late. Only one more week and things will……
