You Choose
You Choose by Pippa Goodhart and Nick Sharatt – wonderful book and also the inspiration for a great game to keep children amused on walks.
What defines you?
I have got into the habit of sharing articles or videos, or random stuff, I find interesting (or funny, or sad, or really annoying) on Facebook, where I probably would previously have written about them here. Perhaps because it’s quick and easy. Perhaps because I’m more likely to get responses …
How do you teach children morality?
Or how do you help them to develop their own sense of morality? When I was adding tags to this post (because, even if I haven’t blogged properly for yonks, I still know the drill) the autocomplete already had ‘morality’ in there – and this is the post tagged with …
Day 2 of New Work-Life Regime
Very tired. Up at 5. Shower. Packed Lunch. Hour’s work. Pancakes. Reading to child. Times tables testing. Spelling testing. School run. Nursery run. Magazine with pretty pictures. Bus to Cheltenham. Two Meetings. Two (Three?) birthday presents purchased. Magazine and lunch. Fun window shopping. Bus to Stroud. Nursery Run. Pit stop …
Quick and easy, healthy vegetarian pasta dish
Over the summer, during one of the girls’ three (yes, three!) holidays away without us, Chris didn’t always have dinner on the table when I got home. I know, it’s totally outrageous, isn’t it? I actually had to make my own dinner. I love cooking, but I don’t really feel …
Coming home
We interrupt your regular schedule of, well, not very much, to say… As of 5 October this blog’s name will mean what it was set up to mean. In other words, after a six-month foray into the world of offices and bus commutes, I shall be returning to freelance life …

<a href=”http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/3832961/?claim=x5ftev9drrd”>Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a> Apologies, but this is an adminy non-post. Hopefully, I will write something (and maybe even something interesting or funny or thought-provoking, but I can’t promise) while the girls are away for their second holiday of the summer later in the week. Bye!
A dog ate my lunch
There’s a lovely park just over the road from work (the girls would, I am sure, insist that I explain that it’s a sitting park rather than a play park, because there is a big difference), where I love to have lunch, or just take a quick walk, if the …
Early morning bus
I’m on the early bus today. I want to make sure I get everything done, as I have a half day leave to go to the Helpers’ Tea at school. I love this early bus. The roads are really quiet and the bus is quite empty. It usually arrives ten …
