#LivingArrows – April 2024

by RachelSwirl April 29, 2024

Though April has felt like an especially long month for myself, on the flip side – time seems to be flying for the kids. Whilst J has been busy preparing himself for his upcoming GCSE exams, E has been occupied studying for her SATs and adding climbing to her skillset. Not only did she impress us all with her speedy, no-fear, climbing skills at Clip ‘n’ Climb but she was then invited to a climbing wall-based birthday party at one of our local climbing centres. Needless to say, E was very much ‘up’ for it and had great fun ‘hanging …

#LittleLoves – April 2023

by RachelSwirl April 28, 2023

So it’s the end of April already, it seems it was yet another month that flew by at lightning speed though it wasn’t half bad all in all. Here are a few of my #LittleLoves from the past thirty days or so.
