As expected, Alexei did receive the Head Teacher’s Special Award, for his computer work in R.E talking about Noah and the ark. He was so delighted with it, as are we, and proudly showed it off. This week we had parent’s evening, and his teacher was once again so complimentary about him, the only negative […]
The week started on a high with Barnaby receiving a Teacher’s Special Award, for “good effort, concentration and output in maths lessons.” He was chuffed, as were we, especially as he is making an effort to speak up in class and contribute more. It seems to be working. There is rumour that his little (but […]
Another busy week ended with a full-on weekend participating in the primary school quiz night (where we started off in the lead – due to very clever friends, but soon crashed and burnt as more alcohol was consumed and the other bribes to the quiz master were bigger and more generous than ours!), and then […]
The lateness of this posting has been due to the snow we have had in Britain (everything stops with snow here!) and the fact that I have had to nurse my husband after a little operation on his leg….well, that’s my excuse and I am sticking to it!!! Nothing to do with the parties and […]
The first week of the new year started and ended with a hangover for me. Oops. Nonetheless, it has been a lovely beginning and we have caught up with lots of family and friends and have made the most of the break from school with lots of activities including a tiny bit of telly, some […]

The children were super excited and every day examined the Christmas tree and the presents underneath. The “Christmas Tree Gang”, led by our eldest, Barnaby, were very restrained in not opening any […]
So another new year, and as I have somewhat missed blogging, since completing my 365 project in the summer, I thought this to be a good opportunity to resume, but perhaps weekly instead of daily. My three gorgeous boys are rapidly growing up and I feel lots of moments are so quickly forgotten in our […]
The time from late spring, when I was heavily pregnant, to autumn time, with a now 4 month old baby, has flown by. But some things stay the same – there will always be wellies and sticks and swords – but now we have an injection of pink! And how I LOVE it.
A happy little Halloween spider….. or is she a witch catching a spider?
As I have not posted in a while, I thought I would share a picture of the local landscape I took on Sunday during a family walk. The midday light made for a contrasty picture, but I think it kinda suits the scene. And, at three months, Willow has discovered her thumb and is content […]
