Things seem so far from normal right now and I’m not sure about you but I’m beginning to question the World in which we live… What kind of life, environment, and existence are we bringing our kids into?!

With the never-ending realms of news headlines, I’m so glad to be living in the countryside, where somehow things feel ever so slightly removed from reality…

Here’s a little snapshot capturing the colours from the countryside – may it bring a smile to your day.…

How are you all doing? Are you managing to get by living in lockdown or has the isolation driven you insane already?

I’ve spent this past week with my head buried in various books and must say that I have rather enjoyed getting back into reading – I was once a keen book worm but somewhere along the way I must have misplaced my mojo and I’ve really missed the floating away into the freedom of fiction.…

 Earlier this week we celebrated a very special young man’s eleventh birthday and despite being in lockdown, J had a truly wonderful day.

J began the day by being spoilt rotten with gifts galore, following which he spent time chatting to family. As we were blessed with beautiful weather, we were able to enjoy time paddling in the pool, bouncing on the trampoline, and shooting some hoops in the garden.…

My camera reel is filled with photos that I’ve taken of the children working upon their various homeschool projects.…
