March 17-26
Life feels so busy that I forgot to post my ‘365’ photos last week. Outside of work, and feeling busy and tired, we have been enveloping our time in our children. We are reading a lot, cooking a lot and snuggling a lot. We are really looking forward to the Easter break, when we will […]
Ripple blanket week 4
It has been the perfect weekend for crochet. It has been rainy and windy, the fire has been burning, yummy things have been baked and boiled and jarred and we have been cosy, warm and happy. I have had plenty of time for tea and crochet, and stuff. It is nearly finished. Five more bands […]
Pancakes
It’s Saturday morning and the fire is cranking. The Esse is hot and the house is warm. So warm that I have to keep some windows open so we get a cool breeze (and the sounds of rain, birds and frogs) flowing through the house. I love autumn. There are five children in the house […]

Ripple week 3

I think it is great that people from around the planet can come together through technology and do something together, like this ripplealong and many other similar things that I have seen going […]
Midnight miracle
Monte called me yesterday. I was driving home from playgroup and he was trying to get me to guess what he was holding. I was getting stressed by his playful guessing game. I was getting worried that one of my pets had died. And then he said: “just guess. It’s small and fluffy.” I said: […]
Silver linings
About a month or so ago, we bought the children a couple of rabbits. Midnight, a purebred Dutch bunny Flopsy, a dwarf lop Georgie has been excellent at looking after them. Three times a day, at least, she has been checking their food and water, and giving them fresh grass and cuddles and playtime. We […]
