2014 Week 50 Day 1 – Twinkle the Elf is showing us her mischievous side as today she helped herself to some skittles! At first, Alexei was upset as they are from his packet, but he soon saw the funny side, and even took those that had spilled out the side and shared them round. […]
2014 Week 49 Day 6 – She came back! She went via the medicine cupboard, as she was still feeling a bit under the weather from being touched by a human, but after some carol, she perked right up! Felix, with the help of his brothers, had written to say he was sorry, and she […]
2014 Week 49 Day 5 – Today the two younger boys had a drama performance in Wallingford, a market town in South Oxfordshire. Their amazing drama teacher coordinated over 90 students and put on a production depicting the first word war. My little two were evacuees. It was so sweet. Whist they were rehearsing, the rest […]
2014 Week 49 Day 4 – We have had such mild weather that the frost today was one of the first of the season. It made for some very pretty nature scenes! Today the elf really did sit on a shelf and was happy to get a Christmas card form Alexei.

2014 Week 49 Day 1 – A friend came today after school, who doesn’t believe in Father Christmas ( I know!!!!), and immediately touched Twinkle!! A collective gasp, an ‘Oi’ from me and floods of tears from the little ones made him realise what a terrible error he had made. He felt bad and agreed […]
2014 Week 48 Day 7 – I couldn’t resist when she found this hat and put it on!!Last night the kids named their elf Twinke. Alexei had wanted ‘Sparkle’ which I thought was lovely, but Barnaby refused, I think purely as it was Alexei’s choice. I explained that in order for the elf to have her […]
2014 Week 48 Day 6 – My strive to get photos for a christmas card continues. But at this rate, I wonder if I will actually get time to create a card? Anyway, it is December 1st and i wanted to share a picture of our tree after the kids were let loose on it. […]
2014 Week 48 Day 5 – Tomorrow is 1st December, so, of course, from now on it is all things Christmassy. The boys started with advent calendars, colouring them in. And then we went to get our Christmas tree! I am not sure if the kids had more fun getting the tree, or going through […]
