Exciting Times Lie Ahead
This week has been both eventful and uneventful at the same time. I am pretty much taking it easy, just as easy as one can when they have a family. I have done no baking, but I am ready to get back in the kitchen very soon. We have attended a couple of appointments and […]

Well we did it! Got to the end of Saturday and survived. After my last update there was so much happening. The children, well two of them, had their final GCSE exam. They were studying physics, it’s over now much to their delight. I told them if they pass good they don’t have to study […]

I Said I wouldn’t
It’s a horrible wet day, and I am cold. I had to go to the city and organise the two middle children’s GCSE physics exams. We use an independent exam centre as we are not registered with any school, it has always worked out well but the drive can be a bit of a chore […]
